February was very cold in South Jersey so there was no running. My time indoors was spent constructing a new industry -- Cumberland Glass Works. Today with the weather finally moderating, my Forney with a short consist took a run by it.
Later I'll add some other structures nearby, plus put a proper base under it.
Regards to all,
Bill
That looks very good to me, at least it kept yopu off the streets.

Nice one Bill, looks very good indeed, as does the Forney! I tend to buy my buildings so I always admire people who take the time to build theirs, one day when I get the time.............
Kim
Hey there,
Thanks for the pic. At least your line is not buried in snow! I would gladly put up with the cold to be able to run. Nice work you have done there. Thanks for sharing. Later eh...Brian.
Kim, Ian and Brian, thanks for your comments. Winter is tough on me and I'd sooner it be beach weather. But that will arrive soon enough, thank goodness!
Here are a couple of my video clips relating to the Forney and construction of my Cumberland Glass Works. Hope they work for you.

You've made a very nice industry there, and also encouraged a newbie. Keep it up!

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Great videos. Makes me want to get outside. Your new industry looks great also.

Les, don't even hesitate to try a building project. A shed is a good way to start.
Dave, it is nice to hear from someone else with roots in Philadelphia. Although I live an hour away now, I always enjoy visiting. This spring I hope to see the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Institute, plus see the train collection again. I'm a fifth generation Philadelphia. My great great grandfather, whose name was the same as mine, lived just a few blocks south of the original Baldwin factory during the Civil War era. One can only imagine the beauties he witnessed emerging from Baldwin during that time.
Karl, it has turned cold again!! Just a matter of time now that we will be running outdoors on a regular basis. I'm keeping busy by working on a little warehouse.
I finished a little warehouse to go along with my glass works, plus installed both outside on some paving blocks. Too bad that before I took the picture I forgot to brush off some splashes from the previous night's rainstorm.
