It’s hard to say how many of these I’ll get to in my lifetime, but I figure I should start making a list so that I can at least attempt to keep track.
T-TRAK Modules
I have 4 T-TRAK modules assembled, but none of them are show-ready. I need to get at least one or two of them done.
Shelf Layout
In the spare bedroom, there’s a 7′ wall and a 6′ wall (in an “L” shape) that I could build a 12″ wide shelf layout on. It would be almost at eye-level, which is higher than I’d like, but would be fun to operate on. I should get started on that.
Locomotive Maintenance Schedule
Come up with some way of tracking locomotive maintenance. Many of these are old and noisy and need cleaning and lubrication. Likely need to prioritize those with DCC already.
DCC Conversion
Take a good hard look at all the locomotives and see which ones can easily be converted to DCC, and which ones will require some work. Audit all of the “spare” decoders that we have right now, and prioritize which ones get installed.
