FOS Yard Office # 2

Curt,

Nice job on the weathering. It looks like a structure with all the soot, dirt and grime for the era and location between the tracks.

Very nice Karl. While I was at Tom's today I took pictures of his (built by ReadingBob) to help me with all the extra details.

Great progress Curt.....

Afternoon All,

Today I spent a couple of hours working on all the details for the kit. I painted everything and it's all ready to to be mounted or placed with the building.

The only "construction" items left are to add the feet under the building and the 2 exhaust stacks. I will probably finish on Sunday, since my Saturday is already spoken for.

Sorry I forgot to thank Tom and Greg for their kind words.

Afternoon All,

I finished the kit today, and it took about 15 hours to complete. I found it very interesting and a little more complex than my first build. On tap for June is another FOS scale yard office for the roundhouse area (still need to purchase). The building looks fairly straight forward but I intend to try a peeling paint covering on it. I should also receive 2 weigh station offices (Blair Line) for Father's Day (fingers crossed).

I apologize for the separate posts with the pictures, but when I try to load them from my phone I always get a picture size error. Based on that I use Photobucket, but that means I can only do one photo at a time...frustrating to say the least. This is why I almost always only post one picture. Well here goes:

This side is to the front of the layout.

I installed the wall lamp a little low, but have to live with it now. Not noticeable from the layout perspective.

Curt,

Nicely done, it will fit perfectly with the PRR. For only your second craftsman kit, you done very good.

Thanks Tom for your kind words.

I forgot to mention I built the top of the coal bin to look more realistic. At some point I will probably do the walls the same way. This is the last side. Tomorrow I will place it on the layout but first I will probably need to remove some ground cover so everything sits properly. I will add people at that point.

great work! I love how dirty it all is! This is going to look great when its "planted" on your layout

Really nice job building & weathering this building.  I've got this in my stash so I'll come back to get some pointers from this build.

Bob C. And Mark thank you for your kind words.

[ReadingBob]

Nice job Curt!  Be careful, these things can be addictive!        

I'm looking forward to running into you down at Tom's one of these days.
