Your threads leave nothing out. With all of the excellent pictures explaining each step as you go forward,
it's like a college course in model construction. And not to forget I am impressed with your skills.
The tower is looking great and a nice addition to an already nice siding on your layout. It fits in
perfectly in that location. Paint and roofing coloring blend in well with the other structures.

Rich,

You are too kind my friend. Your kind and very generous compliment is appreciated. 

I honestly believe credible photos are also a visual narrative in my builds. I try not to leave any steps out but sometimes I miss the mark. I do try to do my best on each build.

Again, thank you.

The roof looks great and nicely weathered.  That is a nice set of weathering pastels.
Ron,

Thank you honorary SBG member. I got the chalk pastels from Micro Mark some 30+ years ago.

Quote from: Rick on February 14, 2026, 06:52:37 AMTom, roof looks nice and neat and weathered properly.
I had a set of those chalks.
Nice job on the rafter tails.
Tower looks right at home in the spot.
Rick,

Thank you for the kind comment. I've been using these chalks for 30+ years now. They are very user friendly.

Curt,

Thanks Butty, much appreciated. Yes, I hope to have in all up by Saturday. If not, I'll have a temp one up for the tower.

Sunny and 32, I put one of the door mats outside to see if it will dry out in the sun.  We'll be 'maple sugaring weather' for the next 10 days, below freezing nights and above freezing days.  If this keeps up, it'll be a good sugar run this year.

I'm back from the store (ran out of eggs), so down to the train room.  Auto racing has never interested me, but good for those who do enjoy it.   I should have some update photos on the farmhouse later today.
