Coronavirus Projects

[Roy]

I heard on the Newshour that a book club is reading War and Peace during this crisis. Sounds like a good way to feel some accomplishment, when looking back to this time. I have been thinking about a battery-operated plastic locomotive conversion as a fairly easy project. Also, I'm thinking of a more ambitious brass loco build. I'm still weighing my options. Anyone else doing any Covid19 projects?

I have so many projects in the hopper, it will take me years to complete, if ever.

Let's see....

Finished off that LWS MP54 to an MPb54 project
Powered one of my John Armstrong interurban cars with Q-Car drive
Just about ready to do final painting stages of a re-powered IMP boxcab
Got a PSC reefer repaired (tiny fixes) and ready to paint - do not have the paint I need.....
Working on 2 styrene wood side reefers - should have them ready for painting by the weekend - that depends on what lettering I have and whether I have the right paint in the shop
Working on a couple of MoW cars.....wood tank cars

Biggest issue is that I'm beginning to run low on some detail parts,

Weather gets just a bit better and then I have some projects re-setting slate in the one walkway and a slate retaining wall.
Could cut up logs and split them for next season

Might have to hit HD tomorrow at 7 am to see if I can get a few things after I drive by the PO.

Articles to write......too many.
Editor jobs - busy and busier.

I will start working on a replacement for the base of that ef60 loco kit I bought 30 plus years ago. I have reached the stage where I need the track to put the chassis on the bogies. I thought I still had the four pieces that made up the base but they are gone. Weird how I was able to keep track of pieces that I need tweezers to hold and lost two 10" sections of track.
