Hi Alan.

The tank looks very smart indeed.

I am working on a crane for my foundry it's a HO model Bridge crane converted to O scale. Thanks Roo.

              Did a little wood working this week...………..

Another Custom Project I did for Client.  This is an O scale version of a kit that Cornerstone produces only in HO. It was built to fit customer's specs.

Alan, the wood gang planks really give the tank the "under construction" look and feel.  Will the tank still be under construction once it takes it's place at the power plant or were the planks just for these photos?

Roo, very nice crane.  I really like the sliding doors in the side of the building.

Sirt, nice to see some readily available, not to scale, wooden items still usedby a master craftsman like you.

Rich, while I've seen square smoke stacks before I don't recall seeing one modeled in O before.  It really gives that custom build a custom look.  

Some recent additions to the TMB Club layout in Farmingdale NY (Long Island). The Sunkist building was made by Harry Hieke of Everything o-scale and the farmers market was crafted by a club member and detailed by me.

Wow, nice work this week guys!

here is some progress on this sawmill that is taking me some time to complete. A real box of sticks, but coming out ok.

Joe,

the tank will stay in this state on the completed model. The construction simulates two eight foot shell courses have been erected. There would be two more put up on the tank before the rafters and roof would be installed. Each course is scaffolded in order to fit and weld the plates.

great work on the lumber mill rich.

nice scenes Steve and pete

nice to see the progress roo.

great work as always sort 

nice adaptation of the ho building richard

Rich the saw mill is coming along nicely.  I can only imagine it being a prototype for a new kit if you still owned the Korber line.

Hi Alan, To your explanation, here, to Joe, I thought I would add these photos of my using one of your handsome under-construction tanks, you made for me, in-situ, as it were, in its place on a client's layout, as a special feature in a "tank-farm" my imagination conjured up. I thought it might be a nice reference for you both to see your being-built tank "in action,"

on a layout I created.

Frank. That is great. Way better than my words.

So, does that mean I have your approval, Alan, for how I used my imagination to use your crafterpiece  ( I just invented the word, inspired by your work: "craft + master + piece.")    ?

Absolutely Frank. Thank you again
