John,

Great build, love that old weathered coal stained door under the light. Just perfect. Keep up the great work.

Wonderful.  Note to self - prepare for a interesting journey when I pull this one off the shelf.  Won't happen for quite some time but this is a really neat looking kit.   ;D

Thank you for the kind words - there will be coal dust and dirt, the S&S RR is a working RR in the late 1940's.

I'm working on my three favorite FSM kits right now. Funny how that works. This is a great kit - I had a long talk with George about it and he told me some of the details he left out of the kit (see the pictures I posted). I plan to add a few of them.  This is one of those kits where you're 20% complete when you get the structure built. I think it's about the same for Swakhammers, and Fox Run, the other two kits on my workbench.

Cheers, Mark.

I really like this structure and am enjoying following--wonderful job on it.  I need to look more into lighting for my structures.

Thank you for following along and the kind words. I have lots of details to add but this one is starting to take shape. As with all my builds, I take these progress pictures to study and create a fix list.
