Afternoon All,

Thank you, Tommy, Mark, and Karl, for your kind words and following along.

Karl, I did read your your thread before I started. You did a very nice job.

The first photo is the building plan with the walls numbered and the second one is the current state of the main office. The frustrating thing is cycling between 3 different sources of photos to make sure I'm not messing up.

One signage change that I did (because I wanted to ;)) was put the off black signage on both peaked walls. I wanted to be able to see them on either side of the layout peninsula.

Afternoon All,

Thank you, Karl, Mark, Jeff, and Greg for following along and your kind comments.

Since the last time I have put the front office together, added an add on structure that spans the length of the office, added 2 exterior lights and 2 interior lights. The next step is adding the freight house to the front office which I hope to do tomorrow. I've reread this section of instructions and looked at the pictures of this step several times since the instructions emphasize the need for being absolutely square.

Afternoon All,

Added the freight house framework. I found it a bit fiddly.

"fiddly".....?

From the Latin word "Diddly".  ;)

Looking good Curt!  You're really moving along on this one.  I hope I can get faster at this once I ditch this annoying day job.  ;D

hey Curt:

looks just great so far. I think I used A much darker green on mine. I actually think I like your choice better.

Looking good, Curt.

It sure is a big kit.  Are you planning on putting the front track in paving?  It looks like the trucks will need it to back into to load.

Cheers, Mark.
