Reply to "What did you do on your layout today?"

I installed Kadee 805's on another 4 cars last night, worked on the uncouplers in the yard.  Managed to remove some of the neodymium magnets under the Kadee magnet so I only get Un-Couple, no delayed coupling as I don't want delayed coupling in the classification yard tracks.   I am pretty close to having a repeatable system for installing the magnets so I can get them to work, either with or without "delayed uncoupling" and do it without having to cut out existing ties and ballast where the trackwork is done and weathered.

It was so warm here this afternoon, I took out some 12 to 14 inch tall pine trees that I had made months ago, and dusted them with Hunter Green spray paint to knock down the yellowish green color of the fine grass fibers that I applied to the branches... see photos below.

Then I took out the K Line Scale Hudson and shot some video of it pulling the Heavyweight Pullmans....  I am going to be shipping it to Harmonyards next week for a complete rebuild....  Figured I'd run it some with the original drive and TMCC Railsounds so I have something to compare it to when it comes back from the over-haul.

Just some random layout shots included, while I had the camera out and all the lights turned on figured I'd shoot some photos.

I'll upload the video later once YouTube is done processing.
