The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 4

Done for today.

[Mark Dalrymple]

Looking good, Tom.

The Pub crawl has long been one of my favourite of FOS scale's designs.  All those little add on's and details give it a lot of character.

I really felt either the king of clubs or the green dragon had to go.  Your choices on what to keep and what to use else where make a lot of sense.

Cheers, Mark.

Very glad to see Judge's Quarters find a good home in the appropriate "business" district...

I wonder if a movie theater would be a good fit.  If you don't already have it I have the FOS Drake Theater (still in kit form) that you're welcome to.

Mark, Cheers,

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. King of Clubs can and will be used elsewhere and I'm still not 100% sure I'll leave the Green Dragon. The Pub Crawl has been one of my favorites also and I'm looking forward to building it.

Dave,

The Judge's Quarters is almost catty cornered from the Court House. Just the place for weekend offenders to appear.

Thanks again for the build.

Bob,

I also have the Drake Theatre but I appreciate the offer. Hard to believe I've had it since it came out in 2004 as FOS kit #50 and I haven't built it yet. It has a fairly large foot print with all Doug has added. However, just the theatre will fit on the main street of Tahope. The pop corn stand and the small diner can be used somewhere else.

Great idea.

Reading Bob mentioned he had the FOS Drake Theatre. I have one as well so now we know where 2 of the 300 Limited Run kits are. This kit, #50, was released in November 2004 and is long out of production.

For those of you that aren't familiar with the kit, here is a photo of the theatre. I'll use it in Downtown Tahope.

[ACL1504]

I've decided to not use the Green Dragon or the King of Clubs. Instead, I'm pulling out an old FOS kit.

Red Bird Taxi & Auto Repair will fit better in this part of Tahope. The kit is #20 and was released in 2002 or 2003. It is also long out of production.

Bruce,


I have lots to choose from. I like what I've proposed for now. Anyway, thanks for the support on the changes.


I just got a fresh load of Diet Pepsi's this morning.

[Bruce Oberleitner]

So I take it that means that you chartered a cargo plane to drop off the latest shipment of Diet Pepsi?

[Judge]

Bruce - The Tahope International Airlines has only one airplane - it is a 1914 Fokker biplane.  The pilot is a former German WWI flying ace named Baron Heinrich Von Henhausen.  Air service is not regularly scheduled - mostly charter flights that deliver Diet Pepsi to the A&S's president.  Regular deliveries come from Jacksonville on the East Coast Champion. 

[Bruce Oberleitner]

Thanks for the info Judge.  I am sure that this is one of the larger items on the A&S expensive account.   How Tom manages to find all these unique people to help out the railroad is truly amazing!
