I was recently cleaning the layout from top to bottom. I set up a bunch of projects from the workbench in the locations where they will be, and also set up the equipment on the layout (rolling stock, waybills, loco consists).This is the Walthers Cornerstone fire station that I cut in half for Dooley (After driving a hard bargain from the guy I bought it from to reduce the price since it was used... "But it's missing the front door! And the roof is loose, and the fire escape is partially broken!" After which I unceremoniously chopped the building up with a razor saw and ended up destroying the details anyway!) I still need to cover the back with styrene and paint and weather the building.[IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040188.jpg[/IMG]The first operating session will be sometime in May, most likely after May 15, although I may hold a limited session before that to get accustomed to the new operating practices and find the few remaining glitches. Intermodel train 400/401 will need a lot of work before it's ready for the layout (I have three locos that are out of service, and the Impacks need weight added) but 402 and 403 are ready and idling on A/D 1 and 2 in White River Junction.402 has 2306 and 1701 (U23B and 1701, respectively) on the head end, and 403 has 2752, 5516, and 5817 (GP30, GP30, and GP7) leading. That's 3243, another U23B, in the background of the first photo. It's currently serving as the yard switcher.

And it's one of the older P2K models that for some reason needs both trucks touching the tracks (at least one axle on each). That makes wheel cleaning pretty tough... Actually, it's not that bad. It's putting the shell back ON afterwards that's a huge pain![IMG]http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee261/TrainManTy/P1040193.jpg[/IMG]
