George!  brilliant!  1/16 u-channel!  perfect for gutters!  love that idea!  where do I get u-channel so I can load up?  thank You!!

I buy it from The Station, on 9th Street in New Cumberland. Although their scratch building supplies are limited, they stock a huge inventory of strip wood. It is not out on display--it would take up most of their display space--you have to ask for it.

Todd Northeastern also has it under 1/16 channel

OK well if Slim's in I guess I am too.  Can't let my bud have all the fun ! So I guess I'll be eating at Panzera's Delicatessen but won't be eating off the menu ...so to say

Should I or Shouldn't I ...That is the question

Now, some thoughts on the build and kit.

I'm really in awe of Jason and his creative idea in making the three KC's Workshop kits into one beautiful build. I really like how he made it look like a building that was added on to over the years. All the signs and tall KC roof sign really set the kit apart from our normal looking structures. Thank you Jason for you creative thinking on this one. Yes, I agree, you do love signs.

As soon as I heard Kenny was going to offer this kit as one, I jumped on it and got it in the mail in just a few days.

I wanted to put my own spin of the structure and yet wanted to keep the same type theme for it as well. You know me, I like to change things up a little in my builds.

I ended up re-cutting all my own walls. I didn't start or intend to do this it just ended up that way. I liked Goober's Garage so I made my own walls for the Jenson building.

I didn't want to use board and batten walls on the second story so I ended up cutting my own walls for that one as well.

Since I scratch built the stairs, I couldn't place the garage up against the main structure. I re-cut some new walls to change the roof pitch on the garage. This was basically an easy build. The hardest part was scratch building the two wall stairs.

I haven't ordered any details from Rusty Stumps but will in a few days.

Lastly, I'd like to thank Ken Crump, Mr. KC's Workshop owner, for offering this great kit in a kit form.

Thank you all for following along. I hope I gave credit to the build in keeping it basically the same as the original Jenson's kit bash with my own version of creativity added to the build..

First Spectacular build ! I just love it  can I use some of your photos of your version at the Expo ?
Second I agree Jason has a wonderful eye for seeing the forest thru the trees so to say with his bashes
Third as for the B&B should have mentioned it I would have cut yours in clap ( hey you forumites don't ever be afraid to ask if Ican accommodate you I WILL)
lastly the castings on Jasons build are from Rusty Rails not Stumps if you're looking for the ones he used


also everyone stop by KC's tables at the Expo and check out Jasons wonderful kitbash of these 3 kits in person photos don't do it justice !

Did my version as a dio .... Would love to do a kit out of it but am afraid It would piss George off  ... input ??

Looks great, Ken.

Regarding George, he seems to be fine with Bar Mills offering tribute kits for never-released structures from his layout. Might be the same here. Could give him a call?

May just have to reach out to him I have actually have  had the drawings done for the laser for this for about a year now ...bet Jimmy could do a nice castings set for it too !

Did my version as a dio .... Would love to do a kit out of it but am afraid It would piss George off  ... input ??

This year KC's has teamed up with Jason Jensen of Jason Jensen Trains for what we think is one spectacular looking kit

Of course this would look better in the location.



I'm thinking very seriously about getting the three kits and building one for the A&S RR.

Tom...Not to mention you have already built part of it ..... twice  ...lol

Here is another with 3 current ones


And also Welcome !!

  glad to hear Jasons kit bash of 3 of KC's Workshops smaller less expensive kits help kick start your modeling bug ! Here is an example of 3 shelf orphans I had laying around these were 2 things that never made it to a kit (yet)  and one Marty's (in the middle ) that had been retired (Jason used this one in his kitbash) just to give you an idea


Kenny
KC's Workshop

Recently Jason Jensen of Jason Jensen Trains Kit Bashed 3 KC's Workshop "It's a Snap" Kits into one spectacular structure Our "its a Snap" Kits are quick easier kits designed to give the builder just the basics to complete a great looking structure (no frills) They have been popular with new builders because they are not overly complicated and a lower price. At shows the thing I hear the most from novice builders is they are afraid of laying out big $ and making mistakes to a high dollar kit. So these were designed to give them something they could cut their teeth on  (with hopes of bringing new modelers into the hobby) as well as giving the experienced builders the bones for something greater, well...... Jason did just that and knocked it out of the park !  Great Job Jason !

Since Jason did such a wonderful job on his kit bash of 3 of KC's kits  (Goober's Service and Towing, Utility Shed and Marty's Fix It ) I decided to offer all 3 together as a package deal and will include the stone foundation and extra strip wood to do the build as Jason has on his Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/Jason-Jensen-Trains-578521205680286/

HO Scale will be $80 [size=78%]https://kcworkshop.com/products/the-jason-jensen-kit-bash-special-3-ho-kits-together[/size]
O Scale will be $135 [size=78%]https://kcworkshop.com/products/the-jason-jensen-kit-bash-special-3-o-scale-kits-together[/size]


These prices are a great value and less than if purchased individually and includes the extras,  also Marty's in HO is retired and never been done in O so this is the only way to currently get them  Links are posted above

Guess I better get the boss busy cutting on her Crikut machine

Karl .... again another spectacular build ! And agree with the others the smokestack sets it off ....KUDOS
