I built the dormer per the instructions and glued it in place.





I need to build the loading docks and add the rolled roofing material.

More in a few.

Tom,
      That's coming along nicely sir!  I like that color combination, it's got that southern railroadie feel.  I'm all eyes!  Thanx Thom...

Thom,

Thank you. I enjoyed our phone conversation this afternoon. I'll be giving a little history on the ACL station color at the end of this build thread.

Not much to report on this thread today. I did get the freight loading platform finished.

I was going to add just a platform at each freight door but it didn't look correct. So, I followed the directions, after cutting it to fit my kit bash, and made the platforms all in one.






Roof shingles/rolled roofing next.

Hi Tom:

Look great so far and will look great in that spot on the RR.

Tom,
Looks great.  I like the larger platform, lots of opportunity to add details to an "upfront' model.

Karl,

Much appreciated as always. I'm getting the roof done this morning.

Jerry,

Thanks very much. I agree, the larger platform looks better and creates lots of detail space.

This morning I added the rolled roofing to the station.



Fast forward and finished.

I then painted the roof with Floquil Primer. The light gray is what the ACL, er, I mean, the A&S has for the roof color.

When the paint dries and cures for two days, I'll added the three chimneys and weathering. Of course the chimneys need to be painted and weathered.

Way to go Tom.....you put rolled roofing along the valleys and ran the field to it for an open valley - perfect.
