Hey John:

Looks really great keep the photo coming.

Thank you, I took some detail pictures that I will get posted as soon as possible. The glue is drying on the two small repairs that I needed to make - one lamp post down, and one brace on the sign let loose. The model traveled remarkably well. Bob sent along some details that I will add as soon as I get the final placement determined.

Whew..... 

I'm very happy to see it survived the trip!   :D  :D  :D  I'm honored to now have a build on John's layout.  I'm lucky to have several friends who have wonderful layouts so the stuff I build can be enjoyed by someone rather than stashed away on a shelf in my garage.

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments!  I really appreciate them!

Thank you Bob!


One question - I found a pipe loose in the box - you can see it in the picture on the front corner - laying in the street.  Any idea where it came from? I will have some close up pictures later where you can see it better.

Yes.  That's one of the two pipes that come out of the building an drop down into the, no longer use, water tank in the rear of the building.  Per the instructions I only spot glued them onto the wall of the building.  In hindsight I should have drilled a hole in the wall for each and glued them in the hole.

That's it.  I found one, so I have one MIA pipe.  I kept all the packaging so I will look for it. Easy to replace if I can't find it. Thank you.






Update: I went through the packaging and found the second pipe so all parts are accounted for.

Here are a couple more photographs that I took of my test fit of the Avram's build.

The picture above is the corner of Butts and Main, in the town of Sellios, on the S&S RR. I fixed the three shipping damage issues just after I took the pictures.  Bob sure did an amazing job on this build.

Believe it or not there's an Eileen Butts Street in Ormond Beach, FL.  That's my wife's name.   ;D  We need to go over there someday and take a picture of her standing next to one of the street signs.

I'm certainly glad the damage was minimal.  It must have gotten tossed around a bit to shake some of those things loose.   :o

I hope you and your wife make it up here so I can take your picture at the corner of Butts and Main.

I finished gluing on the rafter ends for the main building of the Swakhammer build. Final inspection, trimming, and touch up staining and I will be read to start adding the roofing.
