Looks awesome.  You've put the bug in me to purchase and build this kit.  Mark

Thank you for the kind words and good luck with finding one.  It is a very nice kit. I will actually buy another one myself, if the price is right. I want to kit bash one and put it on the other side of the layout.

Nailed it!

Thank you,

John,


Absolutely wonderful modeling!  Not only that, you included lots of tips I can use to help me build better models.  I love where it will be planted on the layout, it really deserves to be up front where it can be fully appreciated.

Thank you so much for the kind encouraging words. I'm looking forward to the scenery work in this area.  I can't wait to see how all these structures look with the scenery around them.

I totally agree with everyone, John. Absolutely top shelf modeling. It turned out great.
This is one to come back to for reference.

Thank you for the very kind words. I will be building more water towers for my layout and I will be coming back to this thread for reference, myself.  It will help me remember what I did.   Us retired guys have to stick together. If I remember correctly you have about a month to go before you officially join our ranks.

Great work John. That wood just looks "wet and weepy". What a cool little kit with all of that great detail in the stonework. The coloring and finish really fit your little world and provide a nice railroad contrast to that shiny station.


I think Reading Bob offered me one of these a while back and I determined I didn't have room - dumb

Thanks for remembering, John. Yes, just two weeks now. It's a strange, but good feeling, seeing it so close.

Thank you for the kind words - this little waterpower can fit just about anywhere. I see more than one on the S&S RR.

I felt the same way, but I know I was ready.  It took me twenty minutes to get used to it.  Just the amount of time it took to hear that gate click behind me for the last time. drive home,  and walk into my layout room.  Day one came the big decision - do I want to work on the layout, go up North and go fishing, or sit here and think about what else I want to do.
