    Can’t wait to see this take shape Ken! Ambitious for sure but I’m willing to bet you’ll knock it out of the park.

    Well Travis Phase 1 is a for sure as that's the Tie Mill. The other two are planned and of course, yet to be seen! Appreciate the support here my friend.

    Looking forward to both of your builds! I have one ordered and look forward to its arrival. Ken, your concept sounds really interesting. Can't wait to what you come up with.

    Hey Tom, the more I researched the ins and outs of crosstie manufacturing, the more interested I became in modeling the process start to finish. Placed a sizable order with NorthEastern Scale Lumber for a good supply of strip wood I'll need for all the ties. The 1920s should fit perfectly to the SWSM Tie Mill kit.

    I look forward to seeing this, Karl. I always learn something from your builds, Karl, and this one sounds like it will be a great dio.

    What am I thinking, KEN. If I could get the names right maybe my Alzheimer's would go away LOL. Sorry about that, Ken.

    No worries George, I'm in outstanding company being referred to as 'Karl".

    Thanks for the support and I hope it shapes up as well as I have envisioned!

    The three Ks, Ken, Karl and the late and much missed Kevin, all outstanding modellers. Unfortunately it would be frowned on to call them just by their initials.

    Greatly looking forward to see how your monster project proceeds. It is much more ambitious than what I have planned for my Tie Mill.

    Hey Nick, nice hearing from you my friend. My tie mill will be integrated with the Wood Cutter's Shack diorama. The other two will be separate dioramas. If I manage to build them all they will consist of three separate dios. Tie Mill & Tie Cutter's Shack, Crosstie River Transport, Crosstie treatment Facility.

    Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

    I will be pausing this thread for a bit whilst I build the Backwoods Tie Mill which will be integrated with this diorama. I'll pick back up here once The Mill is completed and ready to plant. See: HO Scale Builds, HO/HOn3 Backwoods Tie Mill.

    OK, see you next week then ?
