I finished this in November of 2025.  I didn't have the instructions, but the build was self-explanatory.  I had pictures of other builds for reference and the cards provided by SRMW within the kit.  I didn't take any in-process pictures, and waited until it was nice outside to get some photos.  It's near 60 degrees today which for Illinois is near a record for February.  The pictures are a little dark, but I prefer natural light over the pictures I've taken indoors.IMG_8090.JPGIMG_8091.JPGIMG_8092.JPGIMG_8093.JPG

I made a mistake during the laying of the track, and had to extend the dock.  I also included a couple of figures.  I didn't weather the vehicles, that's for later.  I don't remember where I got the shingles for the main building, but they did not come with the kit.  Possibly Mine Mount Models?  The kit also came with some very fibrous roofing paper which I did use.  I didn't add any exterior lighting to this kit, though I usually do with my SRMW builds.

Wow! I'm impressed, very nice build indeed.
And, without instructions, my kind of builder.
Although I don't have this kit, it could be a
great contender for a scratchbuild!  ;D
of course if anyone wants to wait ten years for the results...  ???
