A model of "KING OF CLUBS" bar, for the backdrop of my "X Street" project layout. It's turning out a little too plain and I may junk it for the Woodland Scenics "Rocky's Tavern" model, but it may work out in the end...

I've been drawing plans and framing a 24' x 32 'model railroad room in the basement of my new home. Layout is in the planning stages - a southeastern shortline sorta based on the former L&N "hook & eye line" between Marietta GA. thru Blue Ridge, GA and onto defunct Southern Murphy Branch @ Murphy, NC to Asheville, NC. It will be a bridge route with significant online industries esp marble quarries, copper mining and timber products. Presently am rewriting history to make this plausible!

Finishing laying the mainline track, and wiring it. I work on locos when I have time - installing decoders and lubing them. Should have the main done in another month or so.

Semi-simultaneously

[1] Stripped and repainting / Metalizing 4 HO Bachmann Metroliners into Penn Central.

[2] Installing "see thru" grill and radiators on a War Bonnet Athearn FP45. Tedious, so I'm working slowly. This will be the first locomotive to receive the new Soundtraxx "Tsunami" decoder when it comes out this summer.

[3] Tuning up all HO freight cars (Kd coupler repairs, remove roofwalks, Install P2k wheelsets)

But then again, years ago I spent all my spare time being a "stressed out workaholic". Thank God, this is much better! [swg][tup][:D][:)][8D][^][8)]

"I like my Pullman Standards & Budds in Stainless Steel flavors, thank you!"
