A diversion from wood working

[Ronn W 1569]

Off and on over the past 8 months I have been in the process of handing down my model trains (last used when I was a kid) to my eight year old Grandson. I re scued the  oldest of my 3 trains from my sisters closet.  It was reapinted yellow in the 1940's and the paint was flaking off.  So I decided to bead blast and repaint it with Erie decals in memory of my fathers time with the Erie railroad.  Here's on pic of this 100 year old train and two pics of all three:  1950 Diesel, 1934 Steam engine and 1920-ish electric.  I think that I am having more fun than my Grandson.

Yeah, Cody is a train buff.  But I'd wait til Spring or Summer to make that trip.  Mn can be downright chilly in the winter.
