SRMW - Wrisley Paper

[EricQuebec]

Hello All,

There's four years ago, I've buy at very reasonable price (i.e the same that orignal) the Wrilsley Paper Co Kit from South River Modelworks. It was the second kit from SRMW I've buy, (the first was the Robinson electric, that I've buy for my father 60th birthday), but the first buy for me, and when I've opened the box, I've found that I did not yethave the skills to carry out this project. At this time, I was only a scratchbuilder for several years, but have make a break during many years (, and Have build only one kit in my life and no dio. So I've closed the box and begin to try to learn the skills I need.
Four years later, I'm ready to begin this kit and make the dio.
This thread have many purpose :
1. Give me the first kick to begin this kit
2. Share with you this experience
3. Receive your comment to keep improving (so don't hesitate to comment, critic)
4. Practice my poor english.

Okay here's the two traditionnal pics :
The Box

and his content :

As you can see, there's a lot of stock, and I must confess that the urethane casting are incredible.
That's all for today,
Stay tuned, to be continued

I can't wait to see what you do with this one Eric. I picked up one of these last year so I'll be following.     P.S.  Don't worry about pronouncing proper english with this crowd were still arguing about how to say "Peabody" Raymo

One of my favorite van Gelder designs. Following along...

It's "pee-bawdy".


I like South River kits a lot. I'm eager to see the end result.

Eric, really sorry to jump in on your thread, but this just shows that even Americans don't know
all the local language and pronunciations!
My state (Arkansas) is another perfect example!  The other 'sas' state, Kansas, is pronounced as it
is written, with 's'as' on the end!

But, then, common sense goes away!
Arkansas is pronounced Arkan'saw'!

No, it doesn't make sense, but that's just the way it has been for many, many years!

So, your English is doing as well as we do!

I thought it was pronounced P-B-D?

Looking forward to the build.


The English lesson here reminds me why I studied math and physics.

Wow...looks like a great kit. I see Ebay has a few various kits from $320 to $625, South River Modelworks doesn't list the old kit prices. How much was this kit from SRM?

[Slim Jerkins]

Doug

I have to check when I get home. I think it was $295

Box lid in 1st photo of thread says $295... just barely.

I think you are correct Jamie. I saw SRM H. W. Myers & Sons kit at the Springfield, MA show, these are some nice looking kits. Can't wait to the progress Eric.

PS. I live next to Peabody...there is no pause between Pea and Body. A lot of bumpa to bumpa traffic though. If yah drive though Peabahdy use yah blinkah.

Has anyone else noticed how the MA. folks kinda copied the Southern Rednecks?
They either stretch out their words or cut 'em off short!
Or maybe it was the other way aroun'!

It's like us with our accent, many french from France don't understand us, they say we speak with an hot potato in mouth. The real problem is  they have a default of pronounciation, they add an E at the end of each word and accentuate it a lot

Two things I've always wanted to know:

What is a drawring?

and

What is a diorammer?

If any of yinz know, let me know.

thanks,

Do you mean a measured drawring ?

Or do you mean a raffle drawring?
