Boat Storage- Fall means it’s time to take the boat out of the water for the winter months. But this fall I just finished these sailboats for Nicole to go in her soon to be Baby Terak’s room. Nicole has the room decorated perfect so this will be a nice little addition.
Model Railroading Progress- Today I sat down and did some ideas for the lower frame that the trucks will eventually mount too. The top three sections are also on a frame and will bolt to the lower frame. This double square tube frame will give it plenty of stability.
Tomorrow I will start construction of the center 6 foot section.
I am excited to see if I can make the complicated looking truck assemblies and get a realistic look too.
I have bought 9 sheets of sheet metal and over 200 feet of square tubing and 200 feet of steel rod . This is definately the most steel I have ever used in one model. I am very excited to see this toy train take shape.
Have a great Thurs.
