Hello all - during this rather snowy week, I managed to clear the Train Room, and vacuumed and mopped the floor. Unfortunately my mop had TSP residue on it left over from the major floor project a few months back, so the floor will require additional scrubbing (with different equipment). Regardless, between battles with the snow, I measured, cut, and moved all of the pieces for a home-made shelving unit into the Train Room for prep work. This shelving will be stained and then assembled in the Craft Room upstairs, which is undergoing its own refit (my wife had to deal with similar blue-colored walls in that room too). Continuing on the hallway project, I cut more discs of silver poplar wood for a decoration. Today I purchased some paint at the Restore, which will be used on the train table tops. While walking to the store on my lunch-break, I snapped the above snowy Santa Fe photo.
Also this week, I received and displayed a Railroad Crossing sign my bride got me for my birthday. It is a non-traditional crossing sign, but it provides a great picture of the type of iron horses that will be frequently roaming about the Train Room! :) It now graces the door to the room.
This coming weekend looks like it will involve a lot more snow, and hopefully some railroading progress too! Until next time, keep your rails shiny ~
