Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 1:53PM This started life as a pretty big warehouse, but there was no way it would fit our new layout, so in keeping with making smaller footprint, more useful buildings, I kit bashed it into the “Marine supply warehouse”
From that kitbash this kit was born. It will be up within the next couple of days.

Saturday, August 31, 2013 at 12:32PM Rain here so rather then hit the Chicago Jazz festival, I am working on something a bit different. My harbor scene needs some in water action. i did a lot of searching and found the narrow guage equivilant in shipping. The Clyde Puffer. 34’ with a 12’ beam will fit my wharf nicely.
Just a little smaller then the one shown. There are prototype “Clyde Puffers” half this size so I’m in the ballpark. My ship size will be decided by what fits 8.5”X11” on O scale and will be a waterline version.
I finished the computer model and unwrapped it. It looks promissing and fun.
Tuesday, August 27, 2013 at 4:17PM I just sent off 17 pages of O scale “Zelmer & co” to Lynn Zelmer (the sugercane railway expert) in OZ. It’s a good size wooden warehouse and I think I started it last year. Life happens and things get out of hand.
There are a few other kits that are kicken my ass “The Chama coal tower” is complete but for the coal skip. It’s so complex that I have trouble visualizing how it should be built. (my brother thinks I should abandon it as biting off more then I can chew) (not likely) and on the other end a simple light house that no matter how many times I build it, it just never looks right.
Well off I go to finish yet another mostly finished kit.
