What’s on your work bench/New Years Resolution?

My resolution/goal is to have my 2 main loops in and running. I figure any accomplishments beyond that are bonuses.
If the layout work gets done or caught up to a point I'm happy with - my Lionel K4 is in need of some work.

I have 2 large building kits to assemble and paint. Probably going to start them in February...or June...or first thing in 2021.

I do recall something about that, now that you mention it. Full speed ahead for this years video.

Apart from the 3rd Rail Daylight GS-4 that I have posted about on another thread, the major workbench efforts relate to two long-standing problems and one more recent:

1.  A VL Challenger (2010 1st run) that has lost the sound in the boiler. The last time I tried to take this engine apart I ended up sending it to Lionel to get sorted out. That's not an option now.

2.  My first UP Veranda turbine, which has developed a jackrabbit start that I think relates to the Odyssey controls. On taking it apart I found that one motor was very loose in its mount and the gears were not engaging properly. I have all the replacement parts for this engine I think I will ever need but finding the time/energy to install them is another matter.

3.  A Lionel Legacy AC-9 that has no slow speed control. This one I fear I'll have to ship to Alex M. 

I make NO promises... that way I cannot fail!

Its tough to put a to do list on a hobby... less it becomes not fun.  But if I have to make a list … here is what I need to get done, otherwise, I will just run more trains and get nothing done:

1) Get our OGF Car completed. Word is on the street that the first sheet of decals are off the press and are headed to Harry H. for review

2) Get my excess train items on the Bay

3) I just saved a JLC Y6b from the trash. Its fixed, and now I need to run the H&#$ out of it.

4) I have 4 downtown deco kits to build - lots of fun planned here.

5) Need to add my city, river, and mountain forest sounds modules to the layout and get them hooked up

6) Get my new Lionel 21 inch 7 car Santa Fe passenger cars out of "hock".

7) Add my engine staging siding and service area as planned

8) Wire up 11 DZ1000 switch machines for my yard and complete the control board

9) Break out my airbrush and belly up some new paints that I received... need to airbrush some track and freight car trucks

10) Get those dark buildings lit up with LED light kits I bought at York

11) Finish / revise my layout skirt

12) I literally have a pile of people on my layout that need a place and a home... instead of just sitting on the layout … in a pile.

13) Clean and paint the floors

14) Add a small fridge under the layout for much needed beverages

15) Start planning where in the heck am I going to put that round house and turntable...

And off course the date to be complete is the second week in March. It's the date I am hosting the Detroit 3 railers get together.
