 I have added about 45 feet of additional trackwork, still got plenty to do. I am waiting on two loco shells to be returned by  one of our members who graciously volunteered to paint and decal them for me.
 I have seen his work and it is outstanding. I aporeciate him more than words can express. Thank you, Jacob.

guess I am the opposite of most here, though.  I am not OCD about modeling and accuracy, I want to have fun and enjoy.  I can add too and increase the realism as time goes by. 

I took a video of my first run but can't get it off the phone.

      I like my G Scale trains to have that scale look they have in model RC aircraft, "Stand Off Scale", which is a scale that looks like the real thing, but usually there wings and other parts of the aircraft are designed more for flying which a scale RC scale plane would not fly as well. All being said, if I can stand back 6-10 feet and it looks good to me, I've accomplished what I wanted my trains to look like. Plus modeling is a hobby to me as well as just running trains, we all do what works for us, so as long as you are doing something with trains and it works for you, you should have the enjoyment you need for the hobby.

I've been so busy with other projects that I haven't done much with trains in a few months.  However, I did finally sit back down and got a few things done.  Squeezed a PBM-2 into an Athearn Genesis SD70ACe (lots of plastic surgery), and cleaned/tested all my other locomotives.  Updated a few modules that I somehow missed, and made/tested a few sounds.  Still haven't been able to get a smooth loop on my own horn recordings.

It's been about a year since I worked much on RP.  Spent last winter collecting and building an S gauge American Flyer layout, as my first train was AF in the early 60s.  Just began working on HO again with three LM3S installs.  Since COVID hit, our club has not met and that is where I generally operate.  This winter could be the time to construct a home layout, running back and forth on the test track is getting old!
