A quick update on the C&S 8027 project;

We are actually having a winter here in scenic Kansas! 8027 has spent the last couple of weeks in drifted snow, high winds and below 0 temperatures. Over the weekend, it got warm and all of the snow melted, creating mud and soft ground. Now it is cold again, so at least the ground is solid so perhaps I can accomplish something!

I have begun to post a longwinded version of 8027's story at the site below if anyone needs something to read
