O'Neills Fabrication in O Scale
Brett, This looks like it will be a very interesting addition to the Deer Creek district and without a doubt will be another winner.
I REALLY hope you change your "may" to "will" and bring it out in HO scale as well in the not too distant future! After all, fabrication, welding and machining are all critical to maintaining the Deer Creek Land and Timber Company's assets in good working order!

If Picasso or Michelangelo was an o scale kit maker, they wouldn't even come close to this work of art. Cant wait till it arrives here and I get to see those wonderful castings first hand.
Well done Brett. And wonderful work on weathering the boilers Ken.
I've been browsing over the new pictures and I'm seeing lots of impressive and new castings and detail parts. THIS scene is simply outstanding:
If I'm not mistaken, virtually all the components are individual. That's been one of my favorite advancements Brett has made-- it allows us to recreate the scene as described and pictured in the manual. Or, you have unlimited freedom to run wild and personalize the scene based on each modeler's vision and creativity.
There's a real feel of organized chaos. "Stuff" is all over the place but scattered about with logic. The area around the loading dock and the interior are perfect examples.
One more thing (and this is very simple, but so necessary in my mind): thank you THANK YOU for including printed labels to go along with the gauges on the acetylene tanks!! No more white paint blobs with a fat drawn on indicator needle!
Well done!
Here's to you, Kevin!!
Bill, that picture of Kevin O'Neill is one of my favorites. It was taken at the Lancaster structure show - 2012? So what exactly does Kevin have in his hand? Bill brought his Twin Mills diorama to the show where he won best of show and about a million other awards but... Kevin immediately zeroed in on a log in the pond with a huge splash coming off one side as it was "dropping" into the pond from the unloading platform. Kevin grabbed the log and did his best harpo marks impression and well there you go!
