Tom,
Glad to see that the supply of "Diet Pepsi" hasn't run dry!  Those cabooses look fantastic!

        

Looks like Uncle Tommie is up to his usual tricks again!  I think another pallet load of Diet Pepsi must have arrived at Tom's Place.

Hehe

As usual, amazing work Tom.  I didn't even know you could order those pipe fitting parts.  Any idea where you might get those today?

Uncle Tommie,
The build is looking great!  The lights in the upper floors are a nice touch.  So which guy is the one drinking the Diet Pepsi at the table?

That's looking pretty dang cool Uncle Tommy!  Are you planning on finishing up the scenery in that area after this building is put in place?

Time for a cold Diet Pepsi. I'll get one for Cousin Brucie as well.

Thanks Tom.  There's always time for another Diet Pepsi especially with a good friend.

Quote from: Bruce Oberleitner on January 19, 2025, 01:05:21 AMSo I'm betting that many "Diet Pepsi's" where consumed while cutting out those stair stringers.  Good thing we don't include that cost in with our modeling work...

   

Cousin Brucie,

Good to see you again. I'm not sure how many were consumed during the stair stringer cutting, but many have been consumed for the entire build.

I get my Diet Pepsi from Winn Dixie. They have sales on Fridays, 5 six packs for $15. Can't beat that deal. That makes it 50 cents per 16.9 Fl Oz. per bottle. Just saying.

Tom

Wow, I wish we had Winn Dixie stores out here in Idaho.  That's a great price.  My best price is for 2 LTR bottles at around $2 apiece. 

So I'm betting that many "Diet Pepsi's" where consumed while cutting out those stair stringers.  Good thing we don't include that cost in with our modeling work...

   

Looking good Uncle Tommie!

   

Nice work Larry!  I love all the details around the structure.  Looks Great.  I hope you will share some of your scratch built structures with the forum.  They must be awesome.

   

Awesome build Tom!  This scratch build is looking really good.  I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.

And I hope your New Year is filled with Diet Pepsi!

Quote from: restocarp on December 02, 2024, 06:07:20 PMThat looks great, Tom! All of those little cuts!    You have certainly earned that Diet Pepsi today!

Matt

Matt,

Thank you and yes, there were a lot of little cuts. It was a two Diet Pepsi day.

Tom

Dang Tom, if you got all that done with only two Diet Pepsi's, remind me to send you some more Diet Pepsi right way!  Awesome job!  The layering looks really cool.  Did you need to seal your parts before you did all that cutting?

Hi Tom,
Glad to see your doing another build my friend.  Have a great Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas this year.  Talk with ya soon.

Here is how it should look on the gable end. I added a 2X6 horizontally. You can see this board just above the windows.

Hi Tom,
Love the tip on cutting the gable roof ends.  I always have problems doing the perfect 45 degree cut and this is so much easier!  Thanks.  Put another Diet Pepsi on my tab....

I hope that at least you have a Diet Pepsi in hand Tom....

Tom,
Best wishes to you and good luck with your surgery.  I will keep the Diet Pepsi on ice for you!
