Hi Steve and Tom:

Thanks for the compliments. much appreciated. I installed the roof and the crane today. Roof comes with very early FSM shingle. I don't like them so I used rolled roofing instead. Its paint with Rust-Oleum green primer, A&I & dry-brushed with country gray.

Here's a photo.

The roof and trestle coloring look great.  I think the dock itself could use some 'coal dust'.

Hi All:

This one is finished. Thanks for following along. As can be seen there is a road in front of the coal dock instead of the track in the instructions. This was suggested to me by George himself as he said that's what it should actually be.

Beautiful job on that one, Karl.  The aged wood effect is fantastic.

Hi Opa George:

Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated. Glad you like the coloring. It is merely A&I wash. 2 Teaspoons to 1 Pt Alcohol.

Another one in the books.  And a fine job you did Karl.

Hi Guys:

My friend who is into photography told me that my photos of this look washed out. Probably due the the camera is very old and may be starting to go. I took a new photo wig=the my wife Sony RX10. I think it looks way better. Let me know what you think OK.
