Been putting together some new details to go with a new kit. These are HO and simple to light with micro leds.


Got my summer sausage and ham ready for the smoker. Today I have to make my gravalox from Artic Char. Will cure for 2 days and then onto the smoker Christmas morning for a cold smoke. Joanna's on homemade Angel Food Cake and Crème Brule. A dozen egg whites go into the cake and the yolks go into the Creme Brule.  No waste.... it all goes to the waist!

Hi Harry
I am finding your build blog very helpful, thanks
Can anyone give me some help on the position of part 37, the larger arch door way, attached to the front bay wall. It says 1 inch below the peak of the front bay wall but the diagram shows a line above the top of the front bay wall. Not sure what is intended. Is 1 inch below the top of the front bay.

Hi Michael, the attached drawing should help clarify your question.  Looking forward to your Build

Finally got this kit out the door. I don't know how it slipped by for so long.


Sorry Jan!


Named after a famous N Scale modeler who has a thing for golf here on the forum. Janbouli's comes with alternate signage (shown), dust extractor and air conditioner detail kits.


Janbouli's Golf Tees.... "Built one at a time since 1926!!"


It was a real building up in Edmonton on Boyle Street and rounds out our collection of Jacobs Welding, Boyle Street Apartments and Janbouli's.

Nice job on the building. The green roof and weathering is quite fetching!

Nice stacking layout of the buildings. Minimal blocking of the roundhouse scene to the rear.

I always like to share motivating videos like this one.


Can't wait for the movie with Bill Murray in it. Looks like a great comedy satire.

Thanks folks. Swisstrain, there is always room for one more boat....


It has been a fun one to put together. I really liked the "Duck Butt" stern of the boat. It reminds me of Donald Duck's back end.

Well, not technically a structure, but the kit goes together like one.

The "GENE" is a 1912 West Coast work boat.  In 1912-1915 she was owned by Clarence Wakeley, Vancouver BC. In 1918-1921 she was owned by the Dolly Varden Shipping Co. Ltd., Victoria BC and operated near Alice Arm, BC. In 1926-1930 she was owned by Walter C. Hanson, Butedale BC. On July 10, 1930 she was destroyed by fire in Deep Cove, on the North Arm in Burrard Inlet, BC, Canada.

Waterline kit, in HO scale (soon to be O scale as well)

Bigger scale than most of us work in, but the techniques are the same...

Looks like our snow up here is here to stay with more on the way. Into our silly season with the hobby business and filling order as fast as we can.


A very happy Turkey day tomorrow to all of our friends south of the border. May your tummy be full and your desk even fuller of half built kits!

What a cool building and very clean build of it.  I hope you are resisting gluing the pointy egg, detail cap thingies that go on top of the front corner columns until last.  I have a tendency to want to glue them on early in the build to see what they look like as a great little feature and then later in the build..."Ting!"... as I break them off muttering to myself that I should have waited until the end of the build!


Nice color choices as well.

Very nice Rich!  I love the roofline on the engine house.

... James van Bokkelen and I have been discussing the paint on these in the 19th century, I think we've settled on graphite.  So I sprayed with Tamiya Aluminum and then went over with the gloss, fine black Pan Pastel.  I might tone it down a bit more with something matte, but I suspect that graphite 'paint' on a tank wouldn't weather the same way as graphite on a loco smokebox.

Hi Dave, great looking Gas Holder.  You might want to consider the upper and lower portions being different colors. The upper portion of the one in the picture was Aluminum I believe making the structure much lighter. Not sure when they changed designs as Aluminum in your era might have been too expensive for this type of structure.

Thanks Team, we just have the hoarding shortage here. the Lower Mainland is the area that needs help, big time. I guess it is what you get when you drain a big lake in Washington and BC to make farmland!  The Sumas Plains got hit worst.


I heard that they have one of the road open for essential trucks bringing supplies and gas. Gas rationing for the next 10 days as well.

More importantly, was the hunting trip successful?


We back onto crown property behind us and lots of friends ask if they can come through our place to get to the mountain. (the only way up there is through our place.  All we ask is a 10% levy to use our gate!  Just got a couple of Moose backstraps from a friend who got a moose earlier this week.


BTW, that is a whole lot of castings to paint!
