Things are progressing on the BBRy. It was mentioned that I could use hollow core closet doors as a base for my layout. I have used a door previously and with foam on top are very sturdy and lightweight. My Climax has been sold. But it's for a good cause! Dave over at Northwest Short Line needed one as a test bed for up coming Climax Parts. He lives close enough that it just made sense. But what am I getting? Some money but more importantly a set of NWSL's newest product, metal Shay gears for the Bachmann 80-ton Shay. In the words of Richard Hammond, I think you can see where this is going.
The call for summer work will be coming shortly. I only hope I can start setting the layout up before I go. I may hire an independent contractor to finish it while I'm away. Time will tell.
