Recap on how the train got to where it is now. Homemade router jig for smoothing plywood wheels. Drill 3/16 hole in wood, cut wood with jig saw the finish making round by placing on jig at the right distance from router and rotate.

Been admitted to the hospital and getting a CT scan.
I couldn't help but notice the #XBox logo on the #Siemens CT machine.
Is that really a Kinect camera or did they give me the good stuff and I'm hallucinating?🤣

Not sure what I just saw. Meteor? Satellite debris? It was glowing red. #okwx headed over east Tulsa going toward Coweta. Wild!

The angle for the drive wheels in a curve is horrendous… based on a 10ft radius to the outside track. Might have to rethink this one. The wheels are going to be so tight to the frame. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #makestuff

Added a hinged lid. It is a bit tall, but works well. #train #makestuff

A (mostly) square cabin. Needs more windows 🪟 #makestuff #backyardtrain

Was able to stop by and get a couple 2x4s and make a couple cuts and screw a few pieces together that may resemble a #train cabin. #makestuff

Took Herbert and my favorite helper to the steel supply house. Got some railroad supplies for the train.

With help from our favorite helper, now have the start of a engine cabin!

Originally I thought about coating wheel along the edges with a hard epoxy for longer life. Now I am thinking of fixing a steel band around the edge. I also must secure some steel for track and have a couple thoughts on it. It will be the expensive. Well relatively expensive

Got two moves complete in sequence. Need to get enough for full statement, and program the positions. Good end to the weekend.
