11:30 am

I am back from a quick trip to Model Baron to buy a jar of orange/red paint for the caboose grab irons. The closest match was Model Masteer #2731 Chevrolet Engine Red. Why not?

While in the store I bought the latest issue of Canadian Railway Modeller (Nov - Dec 2009, Train 17, Track 2).

1:30 PM

I have attached all of the grab irons at the other end of the caboose. I was much faster on this end than on the first end. Practice makes a difference. I think I will work on the cupola next and leave the sides until last. But I will take a break for the moment.
