I had been looking at changing out my Engine House for a while when I got my OGR magazine Run 319 in the fall of 2021. I immediately noticed that Don Keiser wrote an article on the building of his new Proses Engine House. After reading the article many times I decided to pull the trigger and bought one. Construction started late in 2022 after much procrastinating construction went through the next couple years.

Well here we are in 2024 and other than finishing the scenery it’s finally done. I have to thank Don Keiser for coaching me through this build. Over the past couple of years we had conversations about how to proceed with certain aspects of it. The forum brings us all together and through the forum I have made a new connection and friend. Thanks Don for the inspiration to go ahead with this.

Hey guys. First, thanks for all the kind words. I do appreciate them. When Allan agrees , that is the highest compliment I can receive.

Joe. You did a great job building the Prose 2 Bay Engine House. You should be proud of your accomplishment. As I noted in the article and as you found out, the kit had a lot of challenging aspects to the build. You stuck with it and with a little coaching, the final product looks great.

I met Joe at the last TCA York meet, a genuine nice guy. I enjoyed our conversation and hope to meet up again.

It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife at York. After 2 years of working with you it was great to have a conversation face to face. Hopefully we will do it again in a few weeks.
