I add my thanks to Allen for wanting to keep this thread ongoing and welcome Alex as the new Author in Chief. This post is destine for perpetuity! It moves so fast that it’s hard to keep up with all the activity. Always fun to view the many posts that inspire, provide help andI foster a host of new ideas.
This past week I just learned of the passing of Paul 2. I was curious regarding his lack of posting and saddened to learn of his passing in late 2021. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back at an event hosted by Elliot Feinburg AKA “Big boy 4005”. It continues to be hard to accept the fact that life is tenuous and mortality statistics (100%), are against us! Everyday is a gift!
With that said, Sunday afternoon I put on my snow shoes and ventured out into the back yard to harvest some pulpwood stock for a new project I am finishing up. This pasty week I received an eBay purchase of a Weaver flat car. This car is now detailed and soon will be assigned to the DM&IR and will receive a pulpwood load. The rebuild is complete and it's in primer. Today I started building the load but it looks like I need a few more chords to complete the project. It is destine to become DMIR #6347. Until then, wash your hands, cover your face (mask up), get your vacs and isolate yourself in your train room!
Cheers, Dave
