FSM Bailey's Produce for Cuse - Here we go again!

[ReadingBob]

Bob,

I'll be patiently watching this one as you go. This is one I want to build myself so don't worry about having to do a second one.

Great start my friend.

Tom

Thanks Tom!  You have plenty of kits I don't have that I'd be more than happy to build for you some day so I know I won't have to worry about redo's.   

[ReadingBob]

Don't be sorry for the large photo's , it's great.

Thanks Jan!  I guess I'll stick with the larger format then.     Appreciate you following along for the #3 Bailey's build thread.

[ReadingBob]

Really nice job on the castings Bob. I will be following.

Thanks Curt!  Glad to have you aboard for the adventure. 

[ReadingBob]

I will be watching this when you get back.

Jim

Thanks Jim!  I haven't even left yet and I'm already anxious to get back and start working on this again.    

[ReadingBob]

Here we go! Off to a great start...I got the backdrop in this past weekend and started fooling around with potential placements of this beauty-to-be. Hopefully, I'll get some surrounding terrain done soon so when Bob's done, it won't be too long before I can show it off in a beautiful placement. Obviously, I'll be watching!


John

Hey John!  I'm thinking of using 3/4" plywood with 1/2" homosote on top for the base for this.  So that'd be 1 1/4" inch thick.  Would that be okay?  I should probably get a short section of track from you to incorporate into the base.  The road and crossing get built up over the track if memory serves me correctly (I guess I could just go back to my first post and look a the picture in the ad).  I'll be gone for a couple of weeks and won't get to the base anytime soon anyway so there's really no rush.   

[ReadingBob]

Riding along and looking forward to it!

Thanks Dave!  Always a pleasure to have you following along!  I hope you're enjoying your summer vacation!   

[ReadingBob]

Safe travels Bob.....I'll be watching your build when you return. 

Thanks Greg!  It'll be time to start working on the main structure walls when I get back.  That'll be fun.   

[ReadingBob]

Having flashbacks to when I did my kit seeing you paint the details.     The larger pictures are great.


Jeff

Thanks Dr. Jeff!  Another vote for the larger pictures so I'll stick with them.  Happy to have you following along! 

[ReadingBob]

Bob


Your off to a great start! I like the big pictures, too. So much easier to see the details. I will be following along.

Thanks John!  A third vote of the larger pictures.    

For everyone else's edification, the next kit up after this one will be FSM Avram's Bakery for John.  I'm looking forward to building that one but I have to get through this one first.

Hi Bob:

As you know this was the last kit I built for my friend. I will be watching your build with interest to see what you do with this one. Have fun.

Karl

Thanks Karl!  You know I'll be referring to your thread as well an Lynn's while I build this.  Those are great resources to have on hand!  Thanks for following along!   

[Jerry]

Great start Bob.  I'll be waiting for the next steps when you get back.

Have fun on your vacation.  I believe the weather will be nice while your in PA.

If you follow the baggage car thread - yesterday, Cuse requested some pictures of  George's Bailey's build on the F&SM, to help with placement and orientation for this build.  I sent him the following pictures - the High Definition versions so he could zoom- and asked Bob if he would like me to post them on this thread.  Bob said he would - so here we go.
