Happy President's Day to you all down south, and Family day to us Northerners.  Speaking of family, Tony and his "Family" are having samwiches down at the Pork Store!

The Doll and I got hitched at the Chapel of Love in Vegas.  No Elvis, tho  ;D
LOL!  My wife and I got hitched on the Bridge of the Enterprise at the Star Trek Casino when it was running.  Second choice was Elvis at the Chapel o' Love!

Thanks guys, they are really quite fun to assemble and fill with stuff. Dave, I probably had these done back when you were developing the machine shop, but took me this long to get them done and on the site!  So many kits to design, so little time!

Here is a short tutorial on building our Interaction Hobbies Parts Bins in O scale. The HO ones are the same, just smaller...
...with smaller clutter to put in each one of those tiny cubby holes!

Happy Sunday everyone!  Woke up to another power outage on the mountain. So glad we have a standby generator so we can still enjoy our morning coffee and crumpets. BC Hydro needs to up their game on patrolling the right aways for over grown trees. We seem to be averaging an outage every month. It really sucks with I have the 3D printer farm running overnight.

Playing with COB LED's and micros...

Always awesome to see Kanthima's work. Amazing stuff.

To add more doubt to your roof top guesswork, it sure looks like a flat roof top on the tower it kind of matches other flat areas on the entry ways etc.

Amazing. Raining like a bugger in the Shuswap at the end of January! Finally getting a chance to get caught up on a new kit design. Playing with COB LED's for signage lighting.  So far, very impressed!

That is a pretty handy site. I wish we had that for the pacific north west.  Very handy for getting started on a new building for sure.

Thanks for posting this JB!

Out here it is beginning to look not like Christmas!  Our white stuff melted and we have been hovering around the freezing level. I am actually OK with a brown Christmas as I do not really enjoy plowing our 2000ft driveway all the time.

Enjoy the day and "Keep on Model'n!"

Thanks for the comments folks.  I am finding it amazing how many people (model Railroader) remember this diner in the real world. When I designed the kit, I had no idea it was such a landmark.

Thanks for the kudo's folks.  It was a great little model to design and build. I should have mentioned as Rich did that it is based on the prototype in Taunton. I got the idea from Dan Raymond a while back and it only took me a year and a half to git 'er dun!

Darn fine bit of model'n!  Top Drawer!
