It looks like fsmkits.com has it listed for $325.

The construction pics are great.  I assume George has a vision of what he wants to do and where he wants what when he starts.  But wedging all the kits in must be a bit of a challenge, even with scratchbuilding everything else.

Jeff

I got so involved with the staging yard, I kinda let this slide.  I've gotten back to it.  Put the windows in, and glued the sides together.  The end sign had some issues.  Part of it wrinkled, and my Vallejo black wash was a little too dark.  I didn't seal it with dullcoat (Doh!), and the inks ran a little.   But it sorta looks like a faded ghost sign now. 

Jeff

Nice truck.  I had to reread the thread on how you did the windows.  You were right, it's not in the video.     Thanks for the lesson!


Jeff

The backdrops look great, Tom.  I was just thinking about doing the same thing with one of my bridges/valleys.  Even went to their site and then I see how great it looks with your bridge.

Mt. Hood, Oregon.

Thanks for all the pictures.  Especially to the Award Winning Mr. Zepeda.  A well deserved award, I might add.


Jeff

I really like seeing how people build their benchwork.  Thanks for posting these. 

Jeff

Appears to be major construction going on.  Hope you got a building permit.    Looking forward to watching you progress on this.

Jeff

I believe this is what Tom is referring to in July 2017, and I hope to attend.


Jeff

Looks even better with moving trains.  Thanks for the link, Jan.  Nice layouts.


Jeff

Thanks Dave, Tom and John.  I now have a (Emperor's voice) fully armed and operational battle station... I mean staging yard.  Everything works!  There's 13 staging tracks, so I split the switches six apiece and put #7 in the center, I'll have a little person next to track 7 so it'll be easier to identify them.  I hope.  The only problem now is deciding what of the 999,999 other projects to do next. 


Jeff

Looks great, Karl.

I needed a shelf for the switches for the yard to sit on.  I also needed to make sure it was wide enough to hold my favorite beverage containers.

Jeff

Thanks, guys. Classic Burlington scenes on the pocket calendars, Bob.  Dave I don't have the loupes.  Out to about 8 inches, I can see better without the glasses.  There's a pair of clear non prescription safety glasses in one of the pics that I use if I'm doing stuff up close.  Unfortunately, with them on I can't see anything further out than a foot.    I have the Optivisor as well, though it doesn't work  well with my depth perception.  Today I finished wiring the "south" (near)  rail of each pair.  The "north" (far) rail will be on switches, so I don't have 13 sound locomotives come on at once when the power is turned on.  I doubt my 5 amp booster could handle it.  Now I just need to make a box for the switches and solder them and wire them to the rails.  It won't be a fancy box either, like I saw in one of Tom's recent pics.  After wiring, I tested all the tracks by using the small wire to bridge the gaps.  One of the tracks had no power.  When I soldered it, the wire moved, so I thought it was soldered, when it really wasn't.    I have since fixed it.
