Just a quick update....I got the GN Empire Builder orange on yesterday. I have some touching up to do since the rivets on the body kept the tape from sticking. But, overall I very pleased with the progress thus far.
I'm going to mount this on the left rear side of the Aux Tender. As of right now the wheel turns. Hopefully I can get it mounted, painted, and keep it turning. After all, we'll need to set the brakes periodically.
I removed the wire tether between the 2 tenders and reconnected the rear coupler and light in the engines tender. I did get a bread board mounted to the chassis in place of the old motherboard, in anticipation of the Mini EX arriving from ERR.
More later....I have a couple of projects I need to finish today.
