Congrats on your fortitude as well as excellent modeling Kevin. Well worth the effort......Rick

EmeryJ · January 2021

Quite the accomplishment Kevin. That is one hell of a model!

trains4ms · January 2021

Great job Kevin. You sure had to overcome some real challenges on this one. Many would not have stuck it out, but you did.

This has been a long haul Kevin. But it was well worth it. You learned a lot and you also did a great job. After I built the Main Street group of models and the Locomotive Service Facility following Brett's instructions, I did a scratch built structure, the Sturgeon Sawmill and won first place with it at the 2019 NMRA 1convention.

So your on your way.

brownbr · January 2021

congratulation. Now start finishing the interior rooms and install a magnifying glass so we can see clearly through the windows.

kebmo · January 2021

thanks you guys. i'm glad this one's done. here's a couple more pics. finished veranda end

kebmo · January 2021

the pic of the end of the building reminded me of another task i have to do. i have o put some fascia on the end gable.

ALCO · January 2021

Congrats. Reminds me of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way”.

KKarns · January 2021

Wasn't going to say anything...haha...didn't notice the lack of a fascia as I was to involved perusing this bad boy! Well done.

KCSTrains · January 2021

Congratulations Kevin. It was a long haul but you persevered and ended up with a great and unique structure. It really should look good with the layout you are intending. Can't wait to see the finished scenery. Phil

TomMich · January 2021

Congratulations Kevin! Turned out great!

kebmo · January 2021

ken, phil and tom,
thanks. i'm building smaller buildings now....

Robert.G · January 2021

What an achievement. You can be proud of that one !!!

KKarns · January 2021

Well yea...build like that would scare the bageezees out of me! I break into a cold sweat every time I look at my unbuilt Twin Mills kit...Lol.

kebmo · January 2021

boy did we ever get clobbered overnight.
clobbered 1

just paid three high school kids to shovel my driveway. best $40 ever spent.

I have a friend in Elgin who sold his snow blower as they are about to list the house. He is not happy either. Glad I live in a warmer climate.......Rick

admin · January 2021

Wow, I love the South! That's crazy.. you guys just shrug it off and get on with life. Down here just the threat of snow sends everyone scurrying to the store to "stock up".

kebmo · February 2021

oh we do that too, but we bought a 5' upright freezer and stocked it well when covid became an issue and costo is great for that, so no need right now.

Karl.A · February 2021

Nope, just no. That just ain't my thing anymore.
If it gets below 70 Ive got a sweater on these days...
Southern winters for me, two cold weeks and its done, ha.
