FOS Forley & Co. Lithographers

[ACL1504]

My next build for the Atlantic and Southern RR is Forley & Co. Lithographers. According to the FOS site, this kit is no longer available. It is kit #60.

It is a background flat structure measuring 11.5 inches wide and 1.25 inches in depth. Of course I plan to change the structure, just a bit.

I hope to start the kit on Sunday afternoon.

I believe Postalkarl and Dr. Jeff (Zepherus52246) both built this kit.



It comes with a nice spiral bound  9 page instruction manual.



Continued in a few

Hi Tom:

Built that one sometime ago. Did mine as the restaurant supply. Will be watching. Let me know if you want a pick of mine.

Neat structure, Tom.

I did a scratch-build inspired by this design.  There is a pic a little way down the link below.

Tom, Count me in on following this build.  Will you be building as the kit is designed or making it a 4 sided full building

Karl,

I knew you built this one and I thought I had a photo but can't find it. Please feel free to post your build photo here.

Oh, thanks for following along.

Mark,

Thanks for checking in and posting the link to your build. You did a wonderful job on the scratch build of Forley's. I definitely like your rendition. It just seems to fit your spot perfectly. Thanks for sharing and for following along.

Hey Mike,

Appreciate you wanting to follow along on the journey. It will be a fun build.

I will definitely modify the structure.  It will still be a three sided building flat but I have a change in mind that I'll be sharing later in the thread.

I'm off to a slower start than I planned. I got side tracked on pouring concrete around the Atlantic and Southern RR station area.

Anyway, prior to opening the box, I was thinking the building presented several different possibilities to modify the look of the building. When I actually opened the box and read the instructions sheet, Doug had already included two additional options for the build.

In the photo below, you can see the three options he has suggested.

The top one, option A is the standard kit build.



I plan on a modified build of option C. More on that later in the thread. Doug was thoughtful enough to include an extra side wall if the modeler chose either option B or C.
