Some Reflections
On January 28 I took photos in San Marco.
This was near the beginning of doing "precision" drawings.
Early in February I started the Amphitheater project...
This took a while......
February 16 I started this blog.
On March 31 I took my train book to Office Depot and had some things scanned. That was the beginning of "trains."
I started on the Mikado 2-8-2 and quickly realized I was way in over my head.
April 1, proto Mikado and coal car under the Brooklyn Bridge....
I obviously abandoned this and worked some more on the Brooklyn Bridge.
On April 5, my band fired me.
On April 16 I converted the file of the CS#24, the coach and baggage car, to a reverse black and white file.
This was the beginning of working on this car.
I posted my first images on my blog of these trains....
I spent some time working on that car.
Knuckle.
I started photos of the Pullman Car at the Prime Osborne on April 27

Same day I downloaded the Knuckle blueprint.
That day I started on the knuckle. That took about a week to get something decent.
Then the coupler assembly...
May 4 animation of knuckle and coupler.
then the bracket...
May 16 coupler bracket
Then the Oil Tanker....May 22-23
Then the Caboose... May 23-24.
Then a simple animation.....May 25?
Then back the Mikado
Long and short, I've been doing trains for about two months....
It's amazing what you can learn in a couple of months...It seems like I've been doing trains much longer...Guess that it testament to my immersion in this....
