working on the railroad. Two-rail, just not "0".

Fall has fell, so so several hundred gallons of leaves in cans.....about that much more to do next time, mostly big-leafed Maples. Shop vac the rail and roadbed, makes it accessible to actual, well, trains.
Haven't had any revenue runs since 01JAN due to lockdowns.

Oil tank at Whiterock.....Bachmann tank car shell on wood structure. Rain, sun, weather over last 25 years...paint is really bad. Tank is off the structure, being stripped (too many repaints over flaked paint), but the wood structure is beyond hope. Some of it is more flexible than a rubber band.
So finish stripping, sand and repaint, build a new structure.

Did some trestle repairs where the tree folks took out a section of cross bracing. Have to repair the rest for the liftout to the shed. Have the wood (pressure treated) just awaiting a bit dryer weather to install and level.

Interesting, share some pictures when you get a chance, out of service is pretty much as interesting as in service to me.
And you know how visually oriented this crowd is. :wink:
