I haven’t posted anything about progress on the railroad lately, mainly because there hasn’t been much. A little scenicking, to the point where three-plus modules are covered in green stuff, but that’s about it. After having either been at conferences or preparing for them since springtime, and building freight cars when it was too hot to do module work, and commuting to Wichita, I was expecting to play catch-up soon.
Bear in mind, I live in Houston. So what’s about to happen here, MoPac-wise? Yep, I get an email in the middle of the night about having a layout tour. Our esteemed convention chair Bob Barnett, who I’ve known for about thirty years, was writing in broad daylight, it was me who was in the middle of the night reading messages.
So I will be open on Sunday morning at the end of the MPHS convention. We’ll have directions available, but I’m not that hard to find. Bear in mind, though, that there’s not much electrical so there will be something ‘running’ but only back and forth for about 20 feet, and the modules that have track on them are still in three disconnected sections. Lots of work in progress, though. And I think almost all of the MoPac rolling stock is on the layout or the storage yards.
