I finished this in November of 2025. I didn't have the instructions, but the build was self-explanatory. I had pictures of other builds for reference and the cards provided by SRMW within the kit. I didn't take any in-process pictures, and waited until it was nice outside to get some photos. It's near 60 degrees today which for Illinois is near a record for February. The pictures are a little dark, but I prefer natural light over the pictures I've taken indoors.IMG_8090.JPGIMG_8091.JPGIMG_8092.JPGIMG_8093.JPG
I made a mistake during the laying of the track, and had to extend the dock. I also included a couple of figures. I didn't weather the vehicles, that's for later. I don't remember where I got the shingles for the main building, but they did not come with the kit. Possibly Mine Mount Models? The kit also came with some very fibrous roofing paper which I did use. I didn't add any exterior lighting to this kit, though I usually do with my SRMW builds.

You did a great job on the kit, I love the character the South River Kits have.
Wow! I'm impressed, very nice build indeed.
And, without instructions, my kind of builder.
Although I don't have this kit, it could be a
great contender for a scratchbuild! ;D
of course if anyone wants to wait ten years for the results... ???
