QuoteI worked for a long time doing 1:1 carpentry in the American Midwest and over the years I observed that different carpenters sometimes have different names for framing pieces, especially from other regions of the country.

Hi Mark.

Even in New Zealand, with a population of only some 5 1/4 million, the term dwang is used in the South Island while noggin is used in the North Island.

Cheers, Mark.

Curt,

Your build is looking good. That front wall is nice with the added knots and coloring.
I saw a note by Brett that mentioned the decals in older kits like Blue Sky and the Backwoods Work Train
are so old that they shouldn't be used. I received a tip from modeler Carl Alessi on the old Railroad Line Forms,
that he said to buy some lettering decals from I think Woodland Scenics. I think the one's I purchased were Roman ones.
I will have to look for my packet.
