Morning all,

Thanks for breakfast Curt. I'll just have some OJ this morning.

I averaged 185 in bowling yesterday but we still only took 2 points. The other team bowled way over their averages. 

Feel very run down this morning so I'll take the day to rest and not push it.

Have a safe, warm and happy day everyone.

Curt,

Well done Butty. The different board colors really adds to the character of the warehouse.

Very well done and I like the color of the faded paint. Track look wonderful also.

Yes, these are certainly better than the metal pallets. Well done.

Afternoon all,

Cold here this morning but nothing like the members up North. Currently 60 degrees and I may cut the grass tomorrow. Well, maybe I should work on a model instead.  ;D

Stay warm and healthy my friends.

Morning Fellow Forumites,

Happy belated Birthday to Sharon.

Thanks for breakfast Rick. Looks like the hike to Vultures Peak was well worth the effort. What a view.

I hope our northern forum friends didn't get hit to hard with storm the weather weenies have been talking about. As Curt said it cold here and if it never gets below 40 again, it sure is fine by me.

Pam and I have bowling today and then late lunch with friends.

I started prepping the location on the layout where Horwood's build will go. Update on that probably tomorrow.

Have a warm, healthy day everyone.

Kit Building / Re: Horwood Brothers Gas, Oil and Service - Rail Scale Miniatures.

I decided to test fit the sidewalks against the main service station.

I realized that some wood can vary from kit to kit as well as changes due to humidity. However, I found the three sidewalk sections were a bit off. Not sure humidity can change them this much.

Since these are laser cut, I know some of the gaps can be attributed to the laser cutting at an angle. This angle is referred to as a kerf. When two laser cut pieces are put side by side, there is a gap.

In the photo below you can see the corner piece is thicker than the front piece of the sidewalk.



The piece shown below will need to be trimmed.



The long sidewalk section will also need to be trimmed to fit. All easy fixes.



I'll be taking a short break from the build (structures) and working on the location where it will be placed on the layout.

I will show this in this thread.

Done for today.

A small angled awning fits on the front of the canopy. This will be installed much later in the build.



And, of course, I want it to be level when the canopy is added.
