Rummaging through boxes looking for something else, of course and I came across another Bowser 100T Hopper RDG HTg 484502.... Hmmm gonna get stripped for an HTe conversion (unless someone has something to swap - I prefer not to strip Reading units, enjoy stripping PRR or CR - LOL)(still has horn hook couplers - it was buried) any way I am looking at it and it has a reweigh date - "C&I 9-87" Bowser what the Ell you thinking, takes it right out of a Reading era paint scheme... THINK. I know it would be easy enough to change, but really one should not have to change that, let the CR people fix the update to their era.
(Gonna need more HTe decals...... :( )

I made a youtube channel last week and got around to messing with my video camera. After I thought it had turned into a plastic brick I payed too much for it decided to work and got some videos made. While learning iMovie on the fly I also learned I really need to light what is filmed for this camera, I tried to help it in the editing program but its still dark. Overall I did what I wanted, made a couple videos and posted them.





Part of the reason I made the channel is youtube integrates better on forums like this one.

What I did last week and what I plan for this week... In this view I have laid out the "modules of interest" As can be seen in this photo looking east above Temple, one can see Temple Station, Empire Steel Castings (the blue building on the left) and the Elizabeth Ave. bridge (the concrete spot midst all the pink) Dead ahead is Kutztown Road, the Twin Churches and on into town toward Heister Lane. This section will actually be swung around to the left and be parallel to the Laureldale module with a new curved section holding Windsor Service, Bachman Pretzels and General Battery. Before I move on though, the floor must be given a coat of paint. Let's see if that gets done in the next seven days. Next I have to build "real" bench-work to support the mess and then I can begin to rehab 10 years of being stored in a garage. Not pretty, but it is a start.

That' looks great, Rob! It really looks like the East Penn. I look forward to watching your progress.
