Placer Nevada & El Dorado R.R. kit

[Philip]

So here is the 5 dollar O scale kit I found at a show in Evansville, In. It is a Saloon soon to be renamed juke joint. Not sure where this will go but follow along. The windows appear to be pre Grandt Line era plastic.

Howdy Philip, looks like a fun build.  That is really a cheap drunk deal.  Have fun, mike

Yeah it is. If only I could drink. Blood thinners ya know.

The windows and spec sheet from R.C.Beaumont. All the wood is present but the door is missing. Looks like some 3d printed stuff on the horizon. I just love these old kits. Nothing is precise like laser cut kits. I'm now entering the twilight zone. I will start by dunking the wood pieces in stain.

[Philip]

Oh great laser cut saloon doors and 3 hinges. Early laser cut therapy. Die stamped hinges?

Great chance to do some kitbashing Philip.

Philip,

Interesting kit and I'm sure you will do a great job. Looking forward to what you do with the missing parts and the 3D aspect.

Philip,

A very primitive kit for sure Curt.

TY Tom, The plan so far is to 3d print all exterior windows and saloon door. Add a deck to the 2d floor and perhaps side it with weathered tin. I like board (barn) construction but these stamped siding sheets just don't give a draftee look. The front walk is decked in an unconventional way and needs a redo. I'm still imagineering this one.

Philip looks like a fun project; I'll be following along for sure.

[Rick]

Philip, nice to find a kit with that kind of price tag.
Looks like you've got a good plan on how to construct it.

[GPdemayo]

Good looking structure Philip, I'll be looking in.....

[friscomike]

Howdy Philip, I agree with the die-cut thought, just like old model plane kits.  I'm looking forward to your 3D supplement.  Have fun, mike

[Jerry]

Philip looking forward to the build.

Thanks for the encouragement Larry, Rick, Greg, and Mike.

Changing course and scribing in wood grain and joints plus adding nail holes. I started on the back wall and it looks a lot older now. Still trying to de-fuzz the back side with a folded 600 sandpaper, a red Scotch-bright pad. I'm  on the fence about dunking the plywood in water based stain. I may just add washes of paint.

Have a great Sunday!

That old saying "Too poor to paint and too proud to white wash"

Indeed Curt thanks, Almost missed ya!

Philip looking forward to the build.

Thanks Jerry!
