The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 2

[ReadingBob]

Wow!  That was some operation.    I was biting my nails the whole time.  Couldn't remember how much glue I used to glue that puppy down.  I built that when I lived up in PA so it was over 19 years ago.

Bob,

Thanks for stopping by and following the removal. I've had it here, after our swap, for the past 6-7 years.

Beautiful structure and quality job my friend. I can't wait to get it in place where it belongs.

Man....that was freakin' amazing, Tom. Wow. Great build also, Bob.

But, the more important question: Where does one find friends like Bob in Chicago that will take unbuilt kits in exchange for skillfully constructed ones?

Hi Tom:

You did a great job with the removal. Can't wait to see it installed on the layout.

Tom, you have a lot of guts.  Thank god it came out very well or Bob would never forgive you and not have any more builds for you in the future.

[Bruce Oberleitner]

To Both Tom and Reading Bob

Beautiful job Guys!  I can't wait to see how the final scene will come out.  The first round of Diet Pepsi is on me!

The most dangerous thing in home improvement is a homeowner with a Sawzall! 
Glad you didn't have to resort to the power tools!

Wow - Tom


I was really concerned in the first few pictures. It's going to look great! Once you figure out what you want to do you just need to go for it.

All great model railroaders know how to use this tool.

Vince,

It was a fun project as well. This was my third and the easiest. Don't get any ideas of having Reading Bob move anywhere near Chicago. It was pure luck to find Bob here in Central Florida.

To answer your question, I have no idea where to find a Bob up your way!

Karl,

Thanks very much. It came off really nice and neat. I hope to get it installed within the month of September.
