Progress Report 01.30.11

Worked on re-gauging Atlas locomotives yesterday.  Managed to complete two of the three remaining units, but the third one is being temperamental. 

Replaced the wheel sets on two Intermountain 4750 CuFt covered hoppers that were notorious for derailment issues.

Back in December, I had added weight to all my covered hoppers and coal hoppers to NMRA standards.  This evening, I completed the job by adding stick on 1/4oz mag wheel weights to the box cars to bring those to NMRA standards.  Hopefully, this will help cars track better.
