Proactive is definitely better than Reactive.

Yes it is - thank you for following along.

[S&S RR]

Update:  At the suggestion of George Sellios the names of the towns of Sellios and VanGelder have been combined to the town of Vansel.  Originally I was going to have two sister towns on each side of the river. George said that looks like it should be one town why don't you combine the names. So it is, the town that George Sellios named on the S&S RR. The town of Vansel is in the Mountain valley below the area where I'm working now on the Whispering Falls build. I will be renaming Whispering Falls - and what should I name the river?


Update to the update:  The CFO of the S&S RR suggested that the name of the river have something to do with money - since so much money went into all those red and yellow boxes. Ouch!

Could also name it Vansel, wouldn't be the first town to take the name of its river.   (Examples: Merrimack NH, Merrimack MA and the river that flows through both towns.  Also Nashua river and town in NH.)


Or, name the river the Vansel River, and the town something like "Vansel Mill".

Good ideas - but see the update to the update.

The 'Cash' river.

Then you could talk about the Cash flow.  The Cash flows through the town of Vansel (or out of the town of Vansel).

Personally, I like to play with anagrams - Tellynott (Lyttelton), Inglletown (Wellington)

Cheers, Mark.

Cache River sounds more classy :-) https://www.fws.gov/refuge/cache_river/

I love the idea. So I'm looking through the thesaurus and dictionary and thought about using Cache like this is where my cache of kits is going to end up. And I did spend a lot of cash on them. I forgot about it for a couple hours and came back this evening to find Dave's post.

It's got to be the Cache River - see my post above to Mark. The Cache River runs through the town of Vansel.     I was amazed when I saw your post.  The cash street bridge will find a home here. I'm sure there will be a Johnny Cash restaurant in town.  Okay back to building my barn.

"Cash & Carry Lumber", too, I'm sure....

The first two walls of the shed going together.

Making it through these builds , enjoying. John can you tell me what the heavy end angle pieces are referred to as? I have 123 blocks which I use all the time but your end piece would be a good addition to my tools.

Dennis answered your question but I thought I would add a few comments. They are called angle plates - mine are in use every day.  I have two sets - they come in three sizes for modeling - 1, 2, and 3 inches. I actually bought a second set because I have had gluing setups that required it. Dennis gives you the link to Micro-Mart and that is where I bought my first set many years ago.  The second set I bought off amazon because the price was right.  They are identical. I'm a firm believer in holding things in place with weights and clamps while the glue dries.

Thanks to you John, I remember
