Got our move done (along with a road trip) and I'm back at the bench.
I order some metal wheel sets for testing and I'm leaning more and more towards them. The only snag is the amount of sets I need! Oy! Well, at least it'll force me the start weathering and mounting body mounts on all the cars I have and have ignored.
I also learned that it's time to get rid of some stuff. I moved all my hobby stuff and it's just too much crap. Time to thin out the ranks. I'm also give real serious thought to modeling a modern free lanced railroad. That one will take a little time to think about.
The road trip got me thinking about my layout and the design. I also now understand the deal with coal trains. There were other interesting trains along the way that gave me some really neat ideas for trains. Now to mix the two at the new place. But I can give an idea about the new layout. Think Free-mo. At least, something along those lines.
More later!
