The kit looks a lot better installed than it does in the box photos, without any ground around it.

Hi Loren:

Not sure when they are shipping. Give George A call I'm sure can tell you.

Hi Thom:

Thanks for the great photos. George told me you'd be posting them. Thanks again.

Hi guys:

Base is cut and the retaining walls are painted and waiting to be weathered and glued in place.

George told me last week that he was still waiting for the boxes and he was making good use of the time working on the layout.  Since Karl got his in the official box the wait might be over.  We had a nice talk about how everything was taking longer than it used to and it was time to spend more time working on the layout. George has sure given us a lot of great kits to build over the years.

Hi John:

I totally agree.

It's amazing how George can fit a new structure into existing scenery and make it look as if it were there forever.

Here are some quick pics of my progress on the trestle.  They are just posing for the photo.  I still need to add the NBW's.  Once that is done, I will glue them down and then start working on the coal drop zone.

Hi Frank-
     I have a question: what is your technique for cutting the angles on the strip wood for the trestles? Do you lay the wood over the drawings and cut with a saw?

thanks!

[NEMMRRC]

Very nice.

Jaime,

Thanks.

Bob,

I just lay it on the template and cut it with a single edge razor blade.

Hi Frank,
    Yeah, that is what I have been doing,,,, wanted to know if you were doing something different. I'm always on the lookout for new/different techniques for doing things!
thanks!

Hi Tom:

Hi Frank:

Looks good. I have my retaining walls glued to the base and the trestles are built. Just have to glue them down. I cut my trestle pieces by marking one one the template and then I use my chopper.

This is a great thread. Karl is off to a slow start but like the rabbit he'll probably finish first.
