What building is this?

[Erieman]

Jan,


Thank you for the wonderful score. Glad you like it. Building one is almost done, then on to the building two of this complex. Still deciding if there will be a building three. The most important thing is that Tom, aka ACL 1504, like these buildings on his layout.


Frank / Erieman

Well if he doesn't like it ( stupid assumption ) put it in a sturdy box and send it over the big puddle called Atlantic, the perfect 10 barely tells how much I like this building.

Sorry Jan,


These buildings have Tom's name written all over them. Besides, they are HO scale and would HUGE on your n scale layout.

Are you kidding me? I love them and will definitely use them. In fact, the A&S RR has already purchased property for the structures.

NO WORRIES TOM,


These will be headed to Orlando upon completion. I am thinking of taking the two original buildings to the Narrow Gauge Convention and putting them in the contest room.

Hi Frank:

Very very nice progress. I've been following along with great interest.

Karl,


Thank you for stopping by and enjoying the build. Should be done with this building this week and then I can start on building #2. Still trying to decide about a third building. Based on that large orange grove that Tom planted, he might need a third structure to handle processing and shipping all those oranges.

Tom,
I like your thinking !!!  In the meantime, the final sets of stairs and railings on the building are now complete. Check the following three photos. So-o-o, the only remaining item to complete on this building is the water tank and associated support structure. Oh yes, there is something else that needs to be re glued. The roof over the office needs to be glued with 5 minute epoxy. then i need to add the rafter tails. That should do it.
Well maybe not. I recall I still have to build the double sided sign. Need to talk to Tom about possibly lighting of the sign. Amazing how many things continue to crop up. Stay tuned for more soon. Sorry for the fuzzy photos.

Frank,

So has Tom come up with a name for the facility?

[GPdemayo]

Maybe he might call it the "Langford Lingerie and Long John Company" - Purveyors of Fine Unmentioables.

Good Morning Steve,


Tom has chosen "Cracker Boy Citrus " Sounds good to me.

Greg,


I don't think so. This is a family show! "Cracker Boy Citrus" is the final choice from Tom. Signage and carton graphics are underway.

Hi Frank.....A family show better have undies, it would be unseemly to be going commando with the kiddies in the house.

Wow.  I blinked and I missed it.  It looks wonderful Frank.  I'm not sure about the "Cracker Boy" though.  Me being from the Coal Cracker regions of PA.      It just doesn't seem right to associate Cracker with Oranges.

Good Morning Bob.
    Thank you for stopping by and your kind words. Building one is 99% done. I just have to add the birds, so stop by this afternoon and I should have some final pics up. I did some framing details on the new building that I really like, so I am going to go back to the original building and change what is currently on the first building. Am I crazy or what!?
    As far as the name "cracker", you will have to discuss that with the new owner. I am only the builder. One building done and one or two to go. Going to take a short break. I need to give my shoulder a break. I stressed it working up to the photo shoot and did not give it a break. Time to give it a break.

Reading Bob and those that follow,


As promised, here are three photos of building one completed, birds and all. As i mentioned, I am going to take a brief break to rest my left shoulder before I start the next structure of this complex. Enjoy the pics.
