Welcome and thank you for your support of this Forum. One of the best kept secrets in O Scale modeling! Dave is one of my favorite building vendors and is a true pleasure to deal with! I have several items on my buy-list!
One suggestion, you can announce/roll-out new items right here on the forum!
Welcome aboard, David! Glad to have you with us.
David has done several buildings for me, including a full custom building for me. He is the best and his pricing is good also. Welcome David.
Love David's building. I have four of his structures now. A switch tower, station platform, water tower and Ice platform.
Welcome aboard David! I love the work you do and look forward to you showing new items you are working on her on the forum.
Happy railroading,
Don
Dave;
Welcome and thanks for sponsoring the forum.
If you have not had the opportunity to see Dave's work in person, I can assure you they are very detailed miniature works of art. I purchased one of his O-72 curved station/platforms late last year and couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, between ordering the set and receiving it, I made some significant changes to my layout plan, so the station would no longer fit where I had intended, so I had to do some adapting to other available space. Since the new location was really on the wrong side of the tracks, the set isn't being used as planned (station in the middle, the platforms as wings on either side). I was very fortunate to meet and have a long chat with Dave at April York - he offered to reverse the bases for me, but I kind of like the new look:
I am now awaiting a cinder hoist and a really cool switch tower (unfortunately not shown on his website) that I ordered at York. I have learned my lesson though (somewhat)... the space for the two new additions is reserved!!!

Welcome Aboard Dave!
Welcome! Thanks for your sponsorship!!
I didn't even know about this building source until I saw this post. Awesome work.
Good to have you Dave.
Dave's products are first class. Take a look at his website. He makes a lot of interesting things that you don't see everywhere.

The pics on the website do not do justice to the actual pieces. Other than the pieces I purchased, Dave had a lot more examples at York and they were all amazing.

Yeah I held my tongue on this. Dave does have a bunch of neat new stuff that needs to be added to his website.
Welcome aboard Dave, the cinder hoist I purchased last year is a good addition to the engine service terminal.
I wanted to let you all know that I heard from Dave via email this morning and he is out of town until next week but he wanted us to know that he will have a new website soon!! I imagine that this new site, based on what he told me, will have many more pictures of his work and will be a much more user friendly site..
Thanks,
Alan
Welcome to the forum.
I have bought a few items from them when I see him out at York.
Best of luck.

Dave,
Your work is simply amazing. Thank you for joining and supporting the OGR family. I know your association with OGR will be beneficial both to you and to the forum members.
And thanks to Alan for making this happen. IMO I think you would be quite justified in marching into the OGR World Headquarters and strongly requesting a substantial and well deserved raise for your work at OGR.
Ed
PS - let me know how the request for the raise goes
I join others in welcoming David. I have his work including a custom Depot to fit an 084 curve location and his ash/cinder lift. His work is excellent.
Welcome Dave.
Welcome Dave, Great looking products!
Thanks for joining.

Welcome aboard Dave! You do good work. I've seen your models and think they are absolutely beautiful! You are a valuable asset to the hobby!
Hello all! Thank you for the warm welcome to the forum!!!!! I appreciate the compliments and all the support over the years.
I am working on a new website which should be up and running shortly. I will make an announcement when it is ready. The web address will remain the same.
Yes, there are lots of new buildings and more coming for the fall York show. I will post photos as they are done.
Welcome Dave!!!
Welcomed Dave, thanks for your support. Your building are amazing. Can't wait to see the new website.
Welcome Dave I purchased your coal tower at the Amherst, MA show but missed seeing you there this past year.

Hi George, the weather has kind of put a damper on attending that show. Miss seeing everyone from springfield but many of them come to York also.
DAVE,
Welcome aboard! Glad to have you join us, especially since I am building a new layout and want to purchase high quality buildings.

I've always been fond of scale structures but have scratch built most of what is on my layout. Crescent Locomotive works is among one of only a few pre-built models that I use on the layout. Dave Duhamel's models are detailed, scale size, well made and are very realistic looking models from the steam age. Outstanding wood models. Absolutely great!
Dave
We need to get the site done now ! call me when you can
Thank you guys again, Yes John it needs to be finished and up and running. I have all the new buttons done and It can be made live with what I have now. I will just add the photos as I get things built and photographed. Will Get in touch over the weekend. Thank you for your help.
It's no problem.
Good for you. Your finding everyone. Good work. Might have a couple of small clients for you soon. Don
Thanks Don, I appreciate it.
I've got several of his elevated work platforms for my roundhouse. Very happy with his work!
Welcome and thank you for your support David. Your knowledge and skills are well respected.
