Shingles are looking really good, John.

It looks like you have some interesting builds lined up for next year.  Its always good to see some SRM kit builds coming up.

Cheers, Mark.

As always, thank you for following along and the encouraging words.  I have a number of Bob's kits coming up although Sayles Mill will be one of the last that I plan on building like the prototype. I'm playing with some ideas for the town of Vansel that will mix and match a number of structures from a bunch of George and Bob's kits. You may even see some other kit manufactures represented along with some scratch built ideas.

Here is a picture of the Shingle Mill I mentioned earlier that I was building as a side project. This structure will be in the background built into the mountainside next to the Narrow Gauge Line.  Behind the Beach Farms estate. This is a C. C. Crow kit that I picked up at a Narrow Gauge Convention probably 25 years ago. I have some detail work to do on it but thought it was worth a picture in it's current state.

Today, I continued with the roof of the Beach Farms Barn.  I also built and painted the cupola. Here are a few progress pictures from throughout the day.



















































I went for the weather beaten look for the cupola - it's up their in those mountain winds.

Here is the installation pictures for the cupola.

I completed the roof on the Beach Farms barn today. Here is a picture and also a test of posting pictures from my iPad.

Wow - great to see that work.

I also started adding the windows to the farm house.

Posting from my iPhone and iPad worked tonight.  Thank you to Rusty Robot and Jimmy for the fix.

Update: The workbench detailing on the Beach Farms Barn and the Farm house is getting close to finished.  I will be adding them to the baseboard and continuing with the detailing with the main structures attached to the baseboard, soon.
