Nothing at all so grand, but after several weeks where my model railroading consisted primarily of reading posts on the list I did fix some details on a PRS boxcar bought from another member and assembled one of the NMRA PRS ACF covered hoppers (John Armstrong's Canandaigua Southern) today. Like many kits, the first one is tricky to read between the lines of the limited instruction sheet, but subsequent ones go together more easily (rebuilding a poorly-assembled one early in my S scale venture taught me quite a bit about them--probably more than I wanted to learn). Now if I can get some of the other projects finished that have been sitting on the workbench for a month or more: reworking the Cascade drive on the second Miller Alco I found and converting three or four AF hoppers with the added detail I include. I used to work on trains much more regularly up until a few years ago; now I proceed by fits and starts...
