Glad I was able to lighten the day for you.
Have a great one!

Living the dream.
Oh man!!!
What a shame Timmy. "Safe on most Plastics".
(MOST) just became a really big word. I feel bad after all that work you did and it's not even my model
On a good note you'll get the next one done twice as fast As Ed said, "We've all been there"

TODAY ON,
I CAN "PROBABLY" FIX THAT...
meanwhile... in this innocent looking workshop....
I keep loads of this stuff around...... because , ... well... I "never " make mistake's .
Get one last look fellas...
Going,...going,...
Oh,yea, I almost forgot.
SeeYou190I was never going to tell Timmy the car sides were upside down. -Kevin
I laughed so hard at this, I accidentally knocked my work truck into gear !!!!
( thanks for the laugh, I needed it !)
Guess what I'm going to be doing next " weekend photo fun ".
Rust...... It's a good thing !
I made a glaring upside down mistake once that haunts me every time I walk into the train room. I keep thinking I should tackle the fix but I think the damage done dissecting the offending piece would be too great. It's what happens when your little boy comes into the room and climbs in your lap while you are glueing stuff.

"All of the world's problems are the result of the difference between how we think and how the world works."
JaBearIf someone claims to have never made a mistake, then it is obvious that they have never achieved anything.
I love this statement.
Little TimmyI'm very surprised that JaBear didn't come up with a "beartoon" for my " misscalculation"
"One difference between pessimists and optimists is that while pessimists are more often right, optimists have far more fun."
Oh man Timmy!
I feel for ya. I thought I was the king of the doozy mistakes when I cut my foam bridge piers 1 inch too short which equals 13 feet in N-Scale, so don't feel too bad
Edit Scratch my center paragraph after I completely understood, ...Oh No!
Yet I wonder if you could carefully cut the doors at the next siding board seams with a razor saw and Flip-Em? That styrene solvent holds pretty dang good.
Very impressive hand-painted graphics
HO-Velo 'watch out, that last step is a doozy'.

Little TimmyOMG NOOOOOOOOO. !!!!!!
I hate those kind of moments, like after the glue dried on the second story fire escape, 'watch out, that last step is a doozy'.
Good luck & looking forward to seeing your completed log car, Regards, Peter
OMG NOOOOOOOOO. !!!!!!
Dont know how I missed that ....
But at least I'm consistent, zi got it wrong on BOTH sides .
It's ok, I'm going to " repaint, and thin no more" ...( I'm going to strip the paint and try again ....... this has gotta be the longest paint job I have ever done.)
I'm sure I would have noticed ...... eventually .....
BATMANThey just are all very tall workers in Timmys world.
I was never going to tell Timmy the car sides were upside down.
gmpullmanThe reefer door latch (I believe) goes toward the bottom?

Still, I think the lettering looks great
Great Stuff this weekend, everybody
Cheers, Ed
It does not matter, you cannot see both sides of the car at the same time.
If anyone ever did an inspection of both sides of the Fleet Of Nonsense, I would never pass.
I managed to get a bit more done on the logcar.
As far as the Bison Brewery reffer is concerned, .... I must be out of my mind !
What was I thinking ?!?!? How can I possably believe that I can "Sucsessfully" hand paint Two carsides EXACTLY THE SAME ?!?!
This is going to be a L O N G journy...... I may not "pull this off" .....
( Please dont hate me if I repaint this mess....... Or, somehow manage to turn it into a gondola ....... It could happen ..... I do have a Hammer ...)
Little Timmy--I easily spend hours doing little bitty things. I'm really interested in how the log car is going to turn out.
Peter--another nice bike rally.
Michael--you're ahead of me. I am waiting for the garage to cool down enought to work, then I'm going to start slapping down cork and laying rail.
Bear--hey, old fat farts can still swing, or so I've heard.
Philo--I like your rear bumper.
Toad--nice.
Rich--I was about to comment on the Ivy on the build--then I saw Thomas.
I got a bug up my wazoo and so I made a bunch of mock-ups and played planning commisioner. I designed the streets and what went on them.
I went from this:

Great looking stuff this weekend everyone!
I haven't done much modelling wise lately, but I took two railfanning trips, to Maine and to Syracuse. If anyone is interested in seeing my posts and videos, they're all on https://northcountrytrains.wordpress.com/. I hope everyone had a great weekend,

MisterBeasley I looked up that flatcar and first came out 1946 I believe that is the oldest car I have mikeGTW Here's another one not an Athearn it's an old Gilbert brand all metal Mike, I believe I actually have one of those, including the old transformer. I got it in a box-of-trains so I have no idea of its origin, but it's at least sixty or seventy years old.

Rule 1: This is my railroad.
Rule 2: I make the rules.
Rule 3: Illuminating discussion of prototype history, equipment and operating practices is always welcome, but in the event of visitor-perceived anacronisms, detail descrepancies or operating errors, consult RULE 1!
Nice batch of work and pictures gents! I done love 'em.
Here is the latest for the Mt Hood RR; a new boxcar fer newsprint loading. Got another one in the works.

Michael: Thanks for the roofwalk explanation.
Peter: Thanks for the devil explanation. That is a great detail to add to that scene.

As an old rider and TDF fan, I recognized The Devil immediately. Well done!

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."
York1 who's the guy in the red and black cape waving a pitchfork at the bike riders?
SeeYou190 Michael: I looked at the image of your new hopper car. It is a beauty. Scale Trains sure does magnificent stuff. Is the running board made of alluminum on the prototype for these cars? -Kevin

Peter: I have the same question as John about the pitchfork fellow. Who is that guy and why is he there?
Bear: Thank you for the toon this weekend.
