RailroadKITS - Depot / Station

[GPdemayo]

Hello All........

I told Slim that I would be building this kit after the holidays, so I thought I'd get the requisite photos out of the way so I can get back to Xmas shopping for Pegi.

First up is the box.

Next is the kit contents.

Finally there is the instructions. Jimmy has them online and they need to be downloaded and printed. No objections here as he sold the kit at a very reasonable price.

See y'all after the holidays with the first photos of the build.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all !!!

Oh the Rock Island line is a mighty good road,

Get your tickets at the station for the Rock Island Line.

Below are a couple of quick photos of one of my walls. I'll post better pictures in my lighting thread once I take them with the other camera and resize them all proper like.

The photo of the inside of the wall shows that the bracing has been cut down from the top of the wall to allow for a ceiling to be placed inside the structure. I might cut the bracing a wee bit more - about 1/32 or so to allow for the thickness of an LED lead. I'll cover all this in detail this weekend.

The other photo shows my colors. Not sure who's color scheme it is but I thought it would look ok.

After the holidays!!!
Is it gonna take you that long to find a present that makes Pegi happy?

[Slim Jerkins]

Oh yeah... And it's Depot Station NOT Depot AND Station.

Jimmy probably took days and weeks thinking up that name - "Depot Station."

His next one in the series will probably be called "Food Restaurant" or something catchy like that.

Hey Greg,

I'm glad to see that you're (that's the proper contraction of you and are - I haven't seen Candy over here, yet, but I better get it right from the get go) doing a build thread on this neat little kit.  I'll be following along on your build and the lighting of the same with great interest.

I hope you got Pegi something nice for X-Mas.

Hey Bob:

Glad to see you over here. I already saw you intention to do a FOS build over here after the first of the year and I'll be following along.

I think this will be a nice little station and I look forward to the build, especially the lighting.

I really like the lighting you've done on your builds with Slim's products and give you fair warning that you will be "drafted" to tutor me with making that happen.

I did get Pegi a few things that will surprise her and a few that I hope will have a good "WOW" factor. It gets harder to come up with something spectacular each year, especially after 47 years!

Merry Christmas to you and Eileen, see you soon !!!

Be glad too.  I'm planning on adding some photo's of the lighting as I add it to the FSM Brownsville Station I'm building for Tom.  That thread, of course, if over on Kitforums.  Hopefully I'll have some updates on that soon.  After I finish a smaller structure I just added lights to as well.

Gman,

Gregory was over at my humble abode this afternoon begging for an ice cold Diet Pepsi! He was out getting stocking stuffers for his lil' Pegi! Of course, he had to tell my Babe what he was doing and she then started in on me about no stocking stuffers the past several years. See how our friends can start a family misaspute and disunderstanding. Oh wait, I'm not on the PO PO Force anymore. I just lost my self for a minutes.
