Very well don Bob, good recovery with the boo boo's.....the lighting is outstanding.  8)

Thanks buddy!  I seem to be getting more klutzy at the workbench lately.   ::)  Luckily the damage wasn't too bad.  Wait until you see the flickering TV in action.  It's subtle but effective in adding a little extra life to the model.  ;)

(Apparently I'm klutz when I type too!)

Another gem, Bob.


Jeff

Thanks Jeff!  I really enjoyed building this one.  Good thing too since I'm about to trade it Tom for the unbuilt kit.   :)  Doug did a wonderful job engineering this one.

Hey Bob:

The lighting looks just great.

Karl

Hi Karl!  Thanks for the comment.  The lighting is all Slim's fault.  He got me hooked on it.   8)

Another wonderful build Bob and thanks for sharing it with us.
The lighting also adds so much to these creations of yours,
All the best,
--Paul

Thanks Paul!  Glad to have you following along.  This one will NOT be getting down to Tom's place via the USPS.   >:(  I'll personally drive it down there and hand it off to him.   :D  The drive to his place is much shorter than the drive to your place though I do hope to get up your way someday and see what your up to.  ;) 

(Inside joke - I mailed a build I did for Paul to him a few months back and the USPS turned it back into kit form along the way.)

Bob,

What a great build, boo boo's and all. It will be a wonderful addition to the A&S RR along with the other fantastic "Reading Bob" builds.

Very well done my friend.

Tom  ;D

Thanks Tom!  I'll get it down to you soon.  Maybe it'll factor into some of the Judge's tall takes of life on the A&S.  Lord knows some of his characters need to be bailed out of jail from time to time.   ;D

Looking forward to it.....your lighting is always fascinating.  :)

Don't know what to add, but it is a really great looking building.  I just can't seem to get around to lighting a building.   Seems easy enough.

Thanks Bob!  I'm nowhere near qualified to work with electricity.  Most of that stuff is way over my head but the methods I learned from Slim (now the proud owner of Railroad Kits!) both in his clinics I attended at the EXPO's and via his Light Bites articles (on his website) removed the fear from me.  The current limiters he sells are Godsend.  I could never figure out what resistor to use to keep from burning out LED's and wouldn't even try.  The most difficult thing, for me, is building those gooseneck lamps.  That's a tedious, exasperating chore but they look so neat in the end.   8)
