Well, another Saturday with Patrick is in the books. While he did another section of skirting, I was making more wires for the uncoupler project, and putting track diagrams on the fascia.
As you can see, short skirts are in this year.
The new track diagram for the Ford Plant. It was a bit of a squeeze to get 8 tracks onto the fascia.
Patrick, the man behind the magic, wires the bolts to the electronics module.
After doing two small diagrams for Roseville, I forgot to look behind the fascia, to make sure the area was clear for the bolts. The bottom hole was fine, but the top one hit a mounting block for a Tortoise., Oops.
Patrick nearly panicked, but just I took the chuck key and moved the drill bit out as far as I could, and kept going, til it popped out the back side of the block. You can just see the tip of the bit, sticking out on the left side. I'll just have to hit Menards for a 5" bolt. Seat of the pants engineering at work!
