Not much shaking this weekend. Of course, Timboy is in his basement pulling up track. And the Lionel guys appear to have been scared into silence by Spankybird's photo submissions. Here is a little project I have been working on this week, while waiting for the deck to dry in between power washes.

I obtained some S-scale Ajax-style brakewheels from Grandt lines, and replaced the either missing or original AF brakewheels on all my equipment. I think they sharpen itup quite a bit.

Also added brakewheels to the caboose. And while I was at it I decided to remove the cast-on handrails and fabricate wire replacements.

I have figured out what is wrong with my brain! On the left side nothing works right, and on the right side there is nothing left!

It has been a beautiful late spring day here in Wisconsin. We finally got some rain to drive away the effects of our drought. I took my Kodak Brownie with me on my walk around town today and caught a couple shots of folks.

People were buying in some reading material for the morning and afternoon.

And there was even a vendor down in the park with some produce. That means the farmers' market will be up and going from now until pumpkin time in the fall.

Have a great week.

Great photos folks. I do not have anything to add to this thread, but I did update my Benchwork/layout thread. I spent most of today in the garage working on it. I have a way to go, but I am making progress. Timboy: The NJCAA (Junior College) World Series just wrapped up here in Enid on Saturday. My son and I went to three of the games including the Championship. I was very impressed with the quality of talent and baseball those young kids displayed. Regards - Joe
