Friday 3-26-10 Work Session at Rick's

What a night we had at the Richlawn Railroad! Tonight was labeled "Delicate Demolition" as we were removing a wall right next to the railroad.

In attendance were:

Coalfinger Ken

Concrete Keith

Glue Bob & his guest Brian

Steve-bay

Band Camp Mark

Here's the gang all serious and everything. The gentlemen next to the door is Bob's friend, Brian. He also is from the Great White North and a model railroader (and a very nice guy!) Mark is out of the picture in the lower right. We split into two teams with Keith & Ken inside the train room and Mark and Steve in the closet. I ran tools to the guys, took pictures, and provided moral support.

Here Keith gets right at it tearing out the drywall inside of the room. Ken mans the trash bag and the team made short work of the wall.

Bob & I gave Brian a tour of the railroad while the de-construction when on and it was great talking to Brian. He is the proud owner of Bob's previous layout, which has been sitting dormant for a few years. Bob is going to visit him and get it back in working order.

What's this? Me working? In a rare moment Bob snapped this shot after the guys "forced" me to do some cleanup work. So this is what it feels like to work!

Wall.....what wall? The guys are putting the finishing touches on the demo.

The Wrecking Crew! After the wall was down the plastic was removed covering the track and we ran trains.......without problem! This was a testament to the great care and workmanship of the team. If I had attempted this project by myself it probably would have taken a week and something (or somebody) would have been damaged. Thanks, guys!

Here's a little video of some of the action!
