My first Scratch Build.

[tetters]

Shane,

Excellent paint job! Tuscan Red is always a nice choice, IMO (says the diehard N&W fan).

Although, I must say, I think the cardstock windows looked better, cleaner somehow, despite the fuzzies, but the end result with styrene is very nice.

Thanks Galen!

The only thing that bothered me about this build was the windows. Honestly, I initially built them out of scale strip wood and it wasn't the fuzzies that really bothered me. I also just wanted to simplify the construction of them. I felt that I was trying too hard and making things too difficult for myself. This after all was my first scratch build.

I have my sand tower to finish and I started work on an Engine House too for my new layout. So, as I go, I hope to learn from each successive build and welcome any critiques.

Thanks!

Shane
