Quite a step up from Keep It Rusty's Old Boiler House, this should be fun, thanks for posting your build.  Mark

Curt,

I will be following along too.
Is this kit the HO or O scale version?

Curt, glad you got the kit.
Hope you have many happy hours building it.
I'll be watching.

Curt looks like this one will be worth the wait. I'm grabbing a seat to watch you have a ball building this.

Question: Is this just the foundry building or does it include the work room and office; just curious.

Afternoon All,

Thank you for following along and your kind comments Greg, Eric, Jeff, Mark, Rich, Rick, Larry, Jerry, Mark D., John, and Mike.

Rich the kit is HO.

Larry it's the entire setup.

Since the initial post until today has been spent coloring the wood for the pattern shop. A very tedious endeavor.

Today I attached the individual boards to the first of the Pattern shop walls. Of course the openings still need trimmed.
