MILS Yard

Not much, but it's a start to a small switching layout in my office or part of a larger NELTC layout.

CV #601 WIP

Pistons and Valve gear fully functional.

Chicago Meetup

Got to meet up with Matt C tonight, hit the Lego store, drag him to some vendor parties, and check out some trains. Also got to reunite RYT102 and 103. This lineup is close to prototypical for New London, CT in the 1950s. We would have run trains, but both forgot to bring IR remotes. Tony, RYT102 is even more awesome in person.

The last of her kind

Had a short amount of time before I caught a flight, so I did what any rational person would do. Goto the Shelburne Museum and get a selfie in front of the sole surviving Central Vermont steam locomotive, #220. I had never seen her before, but there's a dedicated crew doing a nice job keeping her varnish ready.

She's a keeper

After wrestling with what to do with my AAR1937 boxcars, I ultimately decided to keep the ones I'd completed and letter them up. This one just needs a few more details to be done. I almost have more New Haven rolling stock than CV right now...
