Hi All:

Got some work done today. Went to Home Depot and got my base. It is 4 3/4" X 20" long and is poplar wood. Fence is built and glued in place. Buildings are not glued down yet. Also sorted out the casting I need for this area.

Hi All:

Box car shed is finished. Added little more scenery and the rest of the castings. The cart casting does not come with the kit. It was a leftover from something else so I decided to use it here.

Hey Steve:

Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated. We were on vacation and got A mandatory evacuation from Dare County on Tuesday in the outer Banks. We got home Tuesday afternoon. Haven't had much time to work on the model as have been dealing with sick cat. He has Diabetes. 2 shots of insulin a day. Nothing new we had one before several years ago. Maybe I'll get some work done this weekend.
