"Speedy Cheater"? Does him have orange face from eating Cheetos? Dinner

 Him better not trip, or him might touch third rail. Then we'll have a Fried Cheetah.

He may be regretting not getting off at that stop, having just missed a tasty snack.

Cheatahs are FASTER than subway trains, and THAT is a FACT!

It has been a weekend of much wiring. Much more to do too. Not much point in showing you a picture of some wires, so I dug into the archives to find this picture of Coney Island. It will look quite different when it is one.

The spaghetti is still there, but it is going to go away, or at least be abandoned in place.

Right now I am re-wiring the GRS machine. No, that is not right, Right now I am repairing computers (day job, you know) but when I get a moment I will rework the cable from 242nd Street to the master control panel. Once that is done, 242nd street should be back in business. And since you cannot run the railroad without 242nd Street, that is a guess a big deal. The rest of the layout is working.

There was a train outside, but it blew away.

 

If you can find a LION here, you can find him anywhere!

On the purple glasses that are in the ice cream or yogurt container?

Edit; Or on the plastic cup, next to the paint bottle.

I believe it's the duty of all model railroaders to appear disorganized. Problem is...I am disorganized.

L...O...L  Far more organized than my workbench, layout, or...house, for that matter.

The purple SAFETY glasses were compliments of BNSF Rwy. LION went to a safety training mtg there.

No yogurt containers, I do believe that it is a whipped cream container, and it has drywall screws in it.

Well, that last one was a tough one not made any easier by the stuff on hte work bench. LION *was* indeed on the work bench. Right now he is in a subway tunnel. Tunnels are models too. The yellow blob is the well lighted emergency exit. Bench walls and Railings, where is the LION?

He's sitting on the platform to the right of the exit at junction of the yellow and purple colors.

Hmmm.  Do you ever tell us where he was when we don't find him?

Lion all that wiring can still serve two purposes; If you drop anything fragile off the layout, it will have a soft landing. (you may never get it untangled though)

Second. It makes me feel a lot better about what I thought was my wiring mess! Smile Dan

Yes, normally I try to do this, and I tried with this one, but when I enlarged the photo you could see him no better than when I did not enlarge it. He is just below the horizontal center of the photo, to the left of a red object which is to the left of a paint bottle. From the left edge of the clock straight down to the red object. Yup that was a tough one.

He is sitting on the cable where the #12 connection for Rector Street is made. He is looking very proud of himself.
