Mark,  Another congratulations on reaching that major milepost marker !   

Bob,  Great write up on the K Line S-2.   That is a really sharp looking paint scheme on that engine.

Jay Francis:  Thanks for your comments and kind words.  No guarantees on that article in the near future, but if you have some specific questions, send me an email and I'll be happy to share what I learned. 

I have had two great days here.   My ZW-C set up has had a "gremlin" for quite a while, dropping power intermittently, 99% of the time on Power District 4,  (Track 4), and every once in a blue moon on Track 3, also.  Anyway, a week ago, I purchased the entire ZW-C set up that BlueLine was selling here on the forum, for the NJ Hi-Railers, and after some trouble shooting yesterday, changing out 180 Watt Bricks, one at a time, to no avail, I went ahead and pulled the main ZW controller out and put in the replacement.  Everything is running perfectly.  Words don't describe how happy I am about this, I was dreading the possibility that some how, some where I had made a wiring error that was causing the intermittent issues.   

Today we had another one of those 60 degree days here south of Boston 9 days before Christmas ????  So out came all the supplies:  Made 10 large "puff ball trees" which will become 20 once I slit them in 1/2, clear coated 8 large Sage Brush Trees that I brought back from Arizona when I was there with my sister back in September.  I plan to use two of these large Sage Brush tree armatures in the transition area shown below.   Finally came up with a plan to create a "scenic transition" that was required before I could go much further with finalizing the large back drop buildings behind the Union Station.  Then to top it off I took out the 3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive, and mounted the very last flat to it's 1 inch backing and bricked up 4 small side walls (on the back drop buildings), so I don't have to look at the pink insulation.
