South River Modelworks 370 - Tucker and Cook Cotton Yarn Mil

I had hoped to have finished already. I was all set to get back to it after Expo but it has not happened.

Howdy.

Thanks for checking in.

I bet you all are wondering why I'm posting here. Well, I just re-read this thread tonight. It's crazy how life throws a wrench our way and model trains end up derailed. When I stopped progress on this build I was having a really hard time at work. Let's just say I no longer have to worry about that. Work life is much better now.


I really wanted to post here because I made a new friend due to this build thread. Tom Boyd began to email me when Bob VanGelder of South River Modelworks suggested this build thread to Tom. Long story short, I met Tom at the recent 2018 National Narrow Gauge Convention. It was a blast.


So, the moral of the story is.... enjoy the hobby to the fullest.


Tucker and Cook did not get finished. I have the diorama put away and hope to finish it eventually. I had great fun building it and sharing the build here with everyone.


South River is not making kits anymore. So, it'd be a shame for any of you out there that have South River kits unbuilt on your shelves....

Never had a doubt that you wouldn't come back shining like before Jaime
