Final Post of 2014

Hi everyone,
               
                   Finally back on here after yet another long, unplanned absence (I swear! ;) ).  I was in the process of overhauling my main site (nsprr.webs.com) but for some reason, Webs.com and their sitebuilder have somehow miraculously managed to stop working for me so those upgrades will have to wait for the time being.  For now, I will be posting updates here until things change for the site, which could be a while, we'll have to see.

               
                   New Locomotive: After quite some time as having #3 as my only On30 engine, I finally went out on a limb and purchased yet another locomotive, this time used and from "The Bay".  The engine is a Broadway Limited C16, lettered for the Denver Rio Grande & Western as their #271, which has been detailed, weathered, and had it's decoder swapped for a Tsunami C - Class decoder.  The engine is need of some work (minor wiring work, getting a new plow, fixing a broken stack, etc.) but should be good to go soon.  It looks great and sounds amazing, at this time I plan on keeping it as is save for getting a new cow catcher for it but I like the way it looks presently.

                  Well that's all for now, hopefully things change on my main website and I can go back to using this blog as well...a monthly blog page.  I have several projects that are in the "on deck circle" but I'll post them when I get to them
