Curt looking very good and it does look a little "fiddly" to build.
Enjoy.

Hello Curt what a great job you are doing with this build. I especially like the wood colors- very realistic. Superior modeling sir.

Afternoon All,

Thank you Rick, Mike, Jerry, Mike Hohn, Philip, Greg, Larry, Jeff, and Tom for following along and your very kind comments.

Today I finished the headframe with the exception of the cable which is added later in the build.

I also colored the 4 framed walls of the hoist house which is the next part of the build.

The headframe is on foam because the 2 rails for the car extend past the legs.
