Hello Bob, I can see that retirement is agreeing with you, what a great job on that FOS kit.

A great build...well done
Terry

Thanks Terry!  I agree, it helps to show what doesn't work and the recovery steps as well.  I had a blast with this one.

Thanks Jerry!  I hope I can carve out a home for it on the, yet to be built, layout.

Retirement is absolutely agreeing with me Jeff!  I love not caring what day of the week it is.  Thanks for the kind words.  A lot of the credit here goes to a well designed kit from FOS.

That turned out great, Bob.  Per usual.  I'll review this build again if and when I ever get my kit started.

Thanks Greg!  This was a fun one.  Now it's time for something more nefarious.

Thanks Mark!  I suppose this structure could easily be repurposed for a multitude of different businesses but then the builder would have to set aside all those neat signs and details.

Thanks Jeff!  I'm looking forward to seeing this one on the empire when you get around to it.  It'll look great there.

Bob,

After seeing this beauty up close and personal last Saturday, I must say it looks very professionally built. Oh wait, it was professionally built by the Master Builder Reading Bob.

Fantastic build and the lights looked very natural.
