FREEBIE #14 download fixed (I hope!)

Hello folks.

Some of you have reported getting a strange error message when trying to open the Stone Grainery Freebie.  The message had to do with a “style” in the XML file.  Well, I had a hard time beliving this one, and even told some customers that the problem MUST be on their end.  Well, time to eat crow here.  I was WRONG and I appologize if I ticked you off.  YOU WERE RIGHT.  Anyway, I’m pretty sure I have the issue fixed and I’m pretty embarrased, because it was something dumb and I should have seen it right away.  Again, my sincere appologies.  I hope I haven’t permanently chased you away.  You know who you are and if you contact me at <mizewon@gmail.com> I will try to make it up to you.

Cordially, Dave

New FREEBIE posted

For you fans of this website, you have already noticed that the MAGIC NUMBER is back to 5 and you know what that means.  The new freebie posted is called the Small Stone Grainery.

Recently I changed the number of sales needed to generate a new freebie from 200 to 300.  I’m sure you all didn’t like it, but it makes good financial sence to me.  BUT, because you have all been waiting so patiently, I hought that you deserved a little something more for your money.  So, this freebie, instead of being just a simple couple of pages with no insructions, is really a full fleded kit.  I think I could have easily sold it for $7.00 and you would probably have bought it.

Anyway, the Grainery is a completely detailed kit with full instructions and a beautiful illustration.  I also fulfilled a couple of requests and numbered the parts to make assembly easier to understand.  (This may stay, may not.  Please let me know what you think.)

The footprint is about 13’-9” x 13’-9” x 23’-3” tall.  There is an optional dormer (not really optional, as that is how they would have loaded grain) that can be placed on either side.  It is on a separate sheet so you can easily make 2 or 3, if you wish.

All in all, it is a great little kit to cut your teeth on.  Plenty of detail, but very simple to build.  You can complete this kit easily in a weekend or a fairly long evening.

Dave did a gret jub on this build.  Just goes to show you what you can do with a really creative spirit.  Dave says the main reasoning behind the stone foundation, was to get a talled door opening.  This is an awesome way to do that.  Fantastic job.  Can’t wait to see what else you come up with.  This is in O Scale.
