Hey Ed, the girls in college called me Kenny, and for my mom it was Kenneth...but I'll answer to most anything! Thanks for your kind comments Ed and enjoy sharing the goods on things...working diligently on the Denver trip...
Michael, I used good ole white Elmers glue very sparingly. I use it as the water proof wood glue dries a bit fast and the white glue allows a bit of repositioning before setting. I then weighted down the fence assembly so it dried flat, nice and tight.
Thanks so much Brett for your thumbs up on these guys...
Appreciate that Michael. Glad to hear the Elmers equivalent worked well for you.
Here's a fun little casting that I just finished up...wonderful 1:87 scale casting...Ken
There was a mail box in the castings? I missed that. That shiny hinge on the flag is great. Your finishes on the boilers are up to Dr. Grunge standards. Wonderful!

Right Mitch, it's a white metal casting. Thanks for your take on the boilers, they are wonderful castings....Dr. Grunge
Mailman already stopped by while I was looking for the stamp that I think I swallowed. He wanted to know why O'Neills wasn't done yet! Told him to mind his own beeswax...Ken
Michael, very good...you are correct. When I assembled the trusses for the tank to the tank platform, mine settled in with a more parallel attitude than the designed angle (closer at the top and wider at the bottom). This allowed the top edges of the trusses to be a wider fit and there was a gap on both sides of the tank. The angle iron closed this gap. My error my fix kind of thing.
I am way back in my construction but currently looking for some hose for the Kerosene tank. Any thoughts please? Not having thing suitable I am thinking of 0.6mm or 0.8mm shrink tubing (electrical). I will probably have to get that small size from China but plenty to do while I wait delivery.
I know its not essential I aspire to reach a lowly proportion of your incredibly high standard.
Michael
Finishing up O'Neills today and should be poised to begin taking final photos tomorrow. Of course as I go through my punch list I find little do-dads that need done..
