How is everyone doing?

Seems to happen to a lot of companies. The company I just retired from is unrecognizable from when I hired in 30 years ago. Not in a good way.

Nothing ever stays the same, and the above could be said for the Class 1 railroads.

Change is constant to be sure. Who it benefits and at who's expense varies greatly. It is concerning to me where the win/loss is trending. Inequality extremes are a recipe for disaster. They don't MU together well. ;D

Doing OK so far having done the shelter in place for three weeks now in northern California. My employer is still listed as an essential business, but as of today the plant is very slow/not very busy and had a volunteer layoff for the hourly. I've been working from home, setup a desk in the garage and really love the model train distraction too. Really though working in the garage separates me from the house enough so my wife and son can focus on school and it's like I "left for work". I thankfully had a little forethought to stop by Hobby Lobby and stock up on airbrush thinner, Turpenoid and some other supplies to keep busy with. I haven't done anything with RP in a few months until in the last week as my son and I have done a little switching with my 6 year old son, he easily figures out the RP controller and loves to control the locomotive, though he hasn't quite figured out how the load feature will cause the loco to take a long time to move and stop.
What have I been working on? Scenery, for the last month on my Ann Pere Free-mo module.

This week I started working on building some flatcar and gondola loads. Several months ago I cut some steel and aluminum material at work into HO scale width/length steel plates to build flatcar loads. I built several and then realized other modelers may be interested in these as well and then I went a little crazy and built several steel plate loads and branched into I-beams and now pipe. I have them for sale and my current "inventory" can be seen here:
https://danrisdon.smugmug.com/For-Sale Pricing and direct contact are listed there too (not meaning this to be a "for sale posting")
Another batch of pipe was painted tonight, and I have some I-beam material on order from Ebay, so there will be some more loads coming soon.
I've been meaning to get back to working on several (9) locomotives which are at the stage of needing Railpro installed, LED headlights, SMD LED ditchlights and I'm hoping to do this soon as soon as a some parts arrive from PDC and then they can be completed by weathering.
