  September 24th 2020.


Its been a tough year with everything going on. Am working on the layout again. Have to wire all the jumpers on the turnouts as I installed them thinking they were directional through the rails. Tillig s
witches  have a tab  you must solder. I am doing this without taking them out as the linkages were very delicate to install. So far so good! I'm glad I had decades of experience in other scales before I started TT! 


This is a photo of a Maiesto Caboose repainted in my Rio Lobo scheme. The trucks are Microtrains Hon3 Bettendorfs with HP wheels. I used Bachmann EZ Mate Couplers. The decals are K4 TT decals from EBay. Behind it is an N Scale  Atlas 57 foot tank car converted to a 40 foot TT car. It was a prototype. For the next one I would build completely new bolsters.  So I've just been working on cars and locos and finishing up the trackwork...
