Finishing the hotel and the lighthouses

After dinner boredom sets in. It’s too cold to go out so I got back to work.

the lighthouses are very near completion. I will say that even though they are similar in design the O and HO versions are very different in proportion.

The hotel is also complete but for the exterior fire escape railings and the side building. I am planning to have both of these complete by the weekend. (I’ll post some rough pix as well)

Chama is down to the fiddely bits. I may be asking folks to do some bent wire for the skip tracks. Thats whats holding me up.

Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours.

Well, it’s Thanksgiving and we are thankfull to all of you who made this another great year for Clever Models.  As most of you know, this is also our aniversary.  8 years ago, Thom had this brilliant idea.  And look what’s happened.  BUT, it couldn’r have happened without you all out there.  And we are truely thankfull for each and every one of you.  P.S. It’s also Thom’s birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Thom & Clever Models. Yeah!!!

New pix of the Gypsy trolly

Here’s some pix from last weekends trainfest of John Kosma’s Gypsy Trolly line.

 

Coming soon, talk about excentric

Bill Laird sent us this and other photos. We have made it into a kit that will be available soon.

It includes a full interior though careful work will be needed to open the windows. It can be built either way.
