Great progress Tom. I can't wait to see everything in person after I get back in town. Are you doing a lift out bridge on the third level or will it be permanent?

Curt,

Thank you kind sir. I'll be here when you return. Hope all goes well with the brother issue.

The bridge will be a lift out as the other two.

Perhaps you need a longer attention span.  8)

Jim,

The third level height is only 56.5 inches. So, you'll only need to duck a few inches. ;D ;D ;D

Today my focus was to get all the kits in one place. All the kits are now in groups of the manufacturer.



I plan to use the Magnuson kits as George Sellios did. That is to make RTV molds of the kits and use them to make some structures as George did.

I have all the original Magnuson resin kits. When Walthers purchased Magnuson, many of them were redone in plastic.

Tom,
Let me know the hours of Langford's Hobbies.  It looks like one of the best stocked locations in the South.  8)
Does the soda machine have regular cold Pepsi products or just Diet Pepsi ?  ;)
Do you still offer senior discounts ?  ;D
Having that well stocked hobby shop is the key to building your first class model railroad !  :)

Hi Tom


I'm sitting on my boat waiting for the fish to bite and catching up on your progress.  You are moving right along - love it.  I need to make a trip down your way to see it in person.  Maybe next spring,  when I get tired of our winter weather.  We are having Florida weather in Michigan this summer - the water temperature is 84 degrees. That's 10 - 15 degrees warmer than it should be right now.  I'm trying to find the deep cold spring feed spot in the lake because that's where all the fish are hanging out. I found one and caught two but that's been it.


One question, if I may, when you make an RTV mold of your resin kits are you going to use hydrocal or resin to make the new walls?
