Nov 5 2010 session at Bob's


We had another great evening on the ONR Raymore sub with many attendees: Steve and his out of town guest Randy, Paul and his visiting nephew David, Mark taking a break from his moving, Keith and my young neighbor Colin. The focus was on laying more turnouts in Englehart yard, adding more foam scenery and installing more Tortoise machines and their SPDT switches. Previous to the session all of the fascia was installed and a base coat of "woops" brown painted on both front and back. I am hoping that paint on both sides of the fascia will reduce warping of the masonite.

Keith showing us several of the SPDT switches for the Tortoise machines.
















Mark was glad to get back into the groove while his move is under way. Here he is laying the base foam for Swastika station and the Blanche River.
















David and Paul laying foam at Boston Creek.

















Keith & Collin wiring-up the Tortoise machines and SPTD switches.

















Watch those fingers Paul!

















Keith teaching Collin soldering skills. Mark is watching the video that Steve brought on the Florida Juice Train.

















Steve's guest Randy triming one of my hand made pine trees. The tops don't quite look right so Randy found a way to improve them.

















Here is a view of the layout with the painted fascia. The fascia needs a 2nd coat of paint but this is the result I am looking for.

Thanks to you all. I will have some new things to show at my Pilgrimage open house.
