Scott do you have any money left?

I spent around $1800.00. The American Express bill is coming; not a good thing.

Since I was helping out all weekend with the LCCA I got to be in the building before and after each day. I got to see Lionel's president Howard Hitchcock interact with his employee's without his customers being around and that was a real treat. I am 100% convinced that there isn't better man for the job than Howard Hitchcock. He wasn't the boss, he was a leader, a rare quality in today business world, the type of leader that you would want to work for.

Howard's son helped us at the LCCA booth, and signed up more members than the rest of us. He spoke passionately about his love of the hobby and that reflects back to his father. Rest assured Lionel is in great hands. I left the event very impressed with Lionel.

Week 4_1

 

Week 4_2

 

What I'm doing here is trying to somewhat hide the wires.  All of what's showing will be covered and unseen, except for when I take a movie by pushing the camera around on a flat car.  This will, hopefully, block the wiring from being seen.

Week 4_3

 

This shows the area shown above after I put the top layer of Homasote on the "benchwork".  I call these "plateaus"

Week 4_4

 

Week 4_5

 

Nothing new from me this week as I'm off traveling for work until the 21st.
