Thank you, Dave, Mike, Myles!
Dave, as you have shown, building placement is something to be worked on to get a look we like. The manufacturer of the kit makes mostly HO, but offered this one in O scale. There are some minor variations between the kits as is evidenced by the HO photographs in the instructions, but there are no glaring issues. I did email the manufacturer with a question early on, and he responded almost immediately. It is a good kit for a building with minimal details.
Mike, I knew you started the new job, and was wondering how it was working out for you. Your reply sounds like what I felt the first job I had right after I graduated from high school at age 17. I was whipped for a week or two. I hope you can bounce back quickly. At 66 and with my back and nerve issues, I couldn’t possibly do it. I hope you get some time in the train room this weekend!
Myles, you certainly have been helping friends out of jams for a long time!!
I pealed off the shingles that didn’t work well and sanded the roof surface smooth. I also took photographs of three built-up and one kit-built buildings that I will list for sale maybe tomorrow. I still need to research what would be fair asking prices. I’m going to go with smaller/narrower kits for buildings in town. The ones I picked to sell take up too much valuable real estate. Besides, I want to build instead of just plopping down a pre-fab building. 😄
