Larry,
Very nice, the shop scene is coming to life with every added detail.

Beautiful work, very realistic.

Tom,
Nice job on the fix, they all look like they should and would never know there was a problem.

Tom,
Nice work on the corrections, I guess this is why they are called "craftsmen kits", looking forward to more of the build.

Mike,
Very nice, I really like the extra added details. Would like to see once you have them painted.

Greg,
Beautiful build, the night shots with the lighting are perfect.

Bernd,

I have both the Ken Kidder 4-4-0 and the 2-6-0 in Hon3, mine have the motors in the tender. The Ho version I see have the motors in the cab? I remember trying to find a replacement motor and ended up getting one with a gear reduced drive, it will really creep along now.

Dave,
Great looking building, this will be a fun one to follow along with. Any thoughts on the light house above the front entrance on how to replicate.

Mike,

Great looking building and details.

Up next on the bench, this one has a few problems that I found test fitting parts. The cornice detail piece doesn't fit the slot and had to add an extra piece of plastic to have something to glue it to. I also wanted a back door and cut out the brick to add one.

Quote from: Dave Buchholz on November 23, 2025, 10:02:18 PMGary. do you recall the roof top tank manufacturer? I'd like to grab a few of those for future projects.

Dave, these are scratch built. I use a paper tube that is about 8 scale feet in diameter and wrap with 3/32nd bass wood.

Thanks guys for the comments. got the sidewalks formed, plaster poured, glued down to some 1/4", painted and stained , then jumped to the next one.

I like the extra trim you added, it makes the barn have a more finished look.

Great looking work on the wheels and the NBW's. I found using a toothpick with a dab of wax from a (new) toilet wax ring works really well for installing the NBW's in their little holes.

Nice looking work Dave.
