        <description><![CDATA[I just received the new Tie Mill from Brett and I’m completely blown away with the phenomenal quality and extreme detail that Brett has put into the 3D printing in this kit. I have lots of his 3D printed pieces, but I think he has gone even further in producing such magnificent detail in the pieces in this kit. ]]>

The Water Tank and Handcar Maintenance Shed will be available to order this week. Pricing and availability to follow. I finished up the pilot model today and wanted to share a few pics with the forum faithful. This is the first kit designed in the 3D Printing era and the detail level is just amazing. I am so pleased with all the great scene's and stories! More pics to follow over the next couple of days. I appreciate everyone's support and cannot wait to see what you do with this kit, there's just so much potential here!<br /><br />The first “detail” pic I want to share is of the handcar! This is a 3D Printed version of the CHB handcar and is in the process of being re-decked and overhauled. Handcars played such an important role in the early railroads transporting crews, tools, lunches, and small supplies. They were cheap to operate and maintain and were very popular. A complete version of the CHB handcar will be made available separately for those who wish to add a second handcar in the open shed.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.craftsmankituniversity.com/vanforum/uploads/imageupload/059/PDR490JM117I.jpg" alt="IMG_2209" title="IMG_2209" />]]>

You O Scalers can take it from here.  Any release of Brett's sets off a flurry of activity in the modeling community.  Can't wait to see this version being built and featured here on the forum...]]>

After all, fabrication, welding and machining are all critical to maintaining the Deer Creek Land and Timber Company's assets in good working order!]]>

        <description><![CDATA[It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I am really pleased and proud of the Deer Creek Mine kit itself. I love the box label. It's a departure from my standard layout and I really enjoyed designing it. The manual is fantastic. It took me six weeks of intense work to complete it and includes over 225 photographs. At almost 100 pages, there are more step by step pics than any other manual I have written. There will be modelers who have built enough of my kits that might construct portions of the mine without even reading the text relying upon the sbs pics and templates! However, the detailed text is still there in its entirety for directions, guidance, support, and of course, my nagging you to be neat with the glue, create clean corners, and for heavens sake grain and stain your exposed board ends!! The templates were a challenge to get printed. My usual printer messed them up. I was folding the first group ready to ship and found wrinkles and toner voids all over them. My second printer stretched them out about 5% so I had to scramble and find a new source for my 11 x 17 printing. What a bunch of clowns. (polite word used.) My wood shipment was trapped in the NorthEast blizzard for a week, but everything finally came together and they are flying out the door as fast as I can cast, cut, sort, and assemble them. I suspect we will see them appearing on the Forums in customers hands sometime next week. I am looking forward to seeing some group builds soon. Finally I would like to thank Roger Malinowski for his wonderful design and willingness to allow me the privilege of offering the kit in HO Scale...]]>

This question has probably been asked before, but what type of (I assume) plant did those logs come from?
