Hi All:

here's a progress photo. track is laid scenery is in and most of front platform is finished. Scenery is a little dark as it is still wet.

That really looks great Karl. This is such a "busy" structure. All of the details like piping, overhead crane, etc combined with the typical FSM variety of materials make it something I could study for hours. You're doing a fantastic job with it, as always.

Karl, I love your use of the subtle colours and weathering. It makes the structure really standout. Excellent work.

Hi guys:

this one is going on the shelf for a bit as I have 2 FOS Scale kits to built. Starting with Burdick's Freight dock and then Methias Metal background kit.

Hi Guys:

The outer platform with its shed and details are finished. Will now add it to the diorama and then on to the crane and finishing up.

If you want to add another detail, consider little white shipping labels on the cargo.

Looking good Karl.  One of my favorite kits.

Hi All:

As per Dave's suggestion I added shipping labels to crates on the platform.  They were already on the ones on the main platform. They come with the kit. Guess I just forgot to add them. Thanks Dave.

Those labels add a surprising batch of color.  I thought freight on the platform without labels looked "flat" and "unprototypical".

Hi Dave:

What can I say but you were right.
