Thanksgiving is nine days away as I write this, and I'm wondering if we will even have anything to celebrate; or if it will be legal to do so. 2020 is a year which won't be missed, that's for sure, everything seems to be in confusion or turmoil. Never thought I'd miss normal or boring times before this mess started. As a citizen of California, we can't have too many people over for Thanksgiving; instead we will be holding a funeral for our pet turkey's on that day, funerals are allowed up to 50 mourners.
ON THE MODEL RAILROAD FRONT:
Been working on a couple of other things, cabooses mostly, with a few other projects getting some traction at the same time. Not much else to report anyway, not even sure if anybody is still reading what's posted on here.
Consolidated Copper Company 3183 was finally returned to service this month, it had been sitting derelict on some out of service trackage near the old mine workings for ages.
The shops removed the well worn archbar trucks and replaced them with some leaf spring Bettendorf's for a smoother, safer ride.
This car will see service on the El Cobre Branch as that serves Consolidated Copper who has reopened their operations earlier this year (Arizona Southern timeline is mid 1976).
Thanks for reading, leave a note if the mood strikes, and have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING.
Stay safe, John Huey
