Hey Rich it looks great!  Nice update and I really like that wood coloring.

Quote from: PRR Modeler on November 11, 2025, 05:21:25 AMGreat modeling Rich. You have started me thinking about the crane and supports for my kit through the discussion here.

Thanks for your comments Curt. Since you have the kit, just follow the directions and you should be ok.
It was noted on the Sierra West Forums, that modelers found the decal for the 10 Ton load limit was
printed upside down. You may want to check that out when the time comes to use it.

Thanks for the nice comments, Mike, Tom, Rick and Jerry.
Looking back at my close-up pictures makes me want to re-do
some of the shiney painted doors and window edges. The two doors
on the front of the Blacksmith's Shop look like I painted them
without any primer. I will paint the hinges though. Funny how
pictures show imperfections...

Rich everything is really looking good and it's nice to see someone else scratch building. Enjoy the process.

Thanks very much Larry.  Indeed I am and now that the cold & white stuff is chasing us down,
I'm sure I will find the necessary time to finish this.
