Well, I'm off on another build adventure.

I'm going to start, actually, I've already started on the kit.

Continued later this evening.

Looking forward to it!

I'm really looking forward to this one. I remember seeing the display model when it was first released at the expo. The lighting of the dock was especially effective...hope you're considering that effect as it suits this kit particularly well.

I'm not a fanatic of this kit, but I will follow for sure your effort and progress on it.

Thanks for checking in. This will be fun and I'm looking forward to getting into the meat of the build.

Butty John,

Thanks for following me on this one. I do plan on lighting this one as you mentioined. In fact Slim, is sending me the lighting kit for Delwins. I believe the lighting kit will be very effective in thelocation I have for the kit.

Eric,

Fanatic or not, thanks for following along. When this kit was first released I wasn't convinced I had to have one. But with the rebuild of the layout, I found I had the room and perfect spot for it.

I was really surprised to find out from Dario Le Donne, owner of Rail Scale Miniatures, the kit was still available. It will be one of the first kits if not the first structure seen when entering the room.

The kit has a 78 page instruction book with a great many photos and illustrations. There are 23 template cars with a total of 40 diagrams/figures of the build.

In addition there are 5 template roof and roof related cards.

If you choose to light this kit with LED's, and I do, there is a schematic of the lighting and wire locations.

The green schematic above is actually a photo of the circuit board for lighting the kit.

Here we have the walls in the kit.

We have three boats, windows and doors and the Campbell shingles.

A box of metal casting, EZ Line from Berkshire Junction and signs in 6 different color variations.

ACL1504 · May 02, 2015, 07:47:24 PM

And last but not least we have the rest of the kit. Actually this is a picture of all the docks in kit form.

GPdemayo · May 03, 2015, 10:00:26 AM

And the fun begins.....I'll be following along Tom!

ReadingBob · May 03, 2015, 10:35:42 AM

I'll be following along as well. This is going to be a major focal point of the layout. Should be really cool when it's all lit up.
