Wife graduated from cardio rehab and I am back to work!!!!!!!!!!!

Brother_LoveOGR Forum Member

My wife finally finished rehab and it has been good for her but we are glad it is over. I dusted off my stack of styrene and unwrapped 2 brand new single edge razor blades this morning. I am finishing up one passenger car and started assembly of the sides of a dynometer car. Behind them are 39 cabooses in the queue. I have SP, OW, LIRR, N&W cf type, D&RGW, GM&O, IC, L&N, NC&StL, CNJ and SBD. I just received 28 pieces of 12 x 24 styrene and a whole bundle of structural shapes. The heat index will be 105+ for the next 5-6 days so I will be inside chopping up plastic. I hope it cools down a little before I get to the painting stage.

Congratulations on your wife's recovery. My wife got home from the hospital a week ago yesterday so I know what you have been going through.

Malcolm,

Fantastic news for you both! Can't wait to see photos of your latest work. BTW, are you doing some 01400 series Rio Grande cabooses? If so, would you have any spare styrene to add one or two welded versions to your build list?

Thanks for all the well wishes! This is after 2 days of work, 3 N&W CF cabs, 4 CNJ cabs and 1 OW. There are 3 IC steel side doors cut out that are under them.
