Not a lot done on the layout, itself. But.... did my first Kadee coupler conversion, today. And about time, I acquired the couplers and drill bit/tap/machine screws from local OKC train store last year, got time to use today. Last year I had acquired a great Lionel GS2 #4410 from Doug "Laid Off Sick". The tender has a Kadee scale coupler and I have only "lobster claws"... until today. Using a K Line SP Express Service BC, I cut the large claw coupler off and, with a little effort... and shimming, now have a transition car to enable pulling the two sets of 18" SP Daylight passenger cars. Not to mention the scale size K Line Golden State streamline cars consist, of which I have a photograph of a GS4 pulling the Golden State cars with a few Daylight/green mixed head cars. Now, see about finding time tomorrow to actually have this great GS2 pull several different passenger consists for grins.
