Well, I had some spare time today, so out with the paint brushes. White railings and control handles, Railroad tie brown on the planking and some more American paint colour on the metal sheeting - the same colour Union Pacific paints its smoke boxes!

That being done, I decided to connect up the turntable to my old Digitrax Zephyr. I didn't do any coding to the TMC M1 decoder, just tested the controls. I have taken a short movie but the light levels are too low so it really is not worth showing. It is going to be left alone for some time while I tackle some pressing domestic obligations. So, back to England, then Sunday at the Bristol 0 Gauge show.

With the turntable a proven, if not quite complete, project, I might just find something new to work on! Stay posted.
