Now...a special thank you is in order...Brett, I would like to thank you for your dedication and vision in where you've taken SierraWest Scale Models. To be not only a designer and manufacturer of the finest scale model kits available, but a teacher, resource, and friend is truly a measure of unparalleled success. Congratulations on another outstanding showing for SWSM and I thank you for the motivation and tutelage to take my Loco and Service Shops build to a successful conclusion.
Also a special note to Karl Allison, who I hold in the highest esteem. For your helpful comments and suggestions and for taking me to task when I either did or was about to screw something up on this build. Your encouragement and advise is priceless and you have that uncanny ability to know just what to do. Your work is brilliant and an example of what we all aspire to achieve...thanks buddy.
Thanks to Jaime Zepeda for the wonderful image of the Loco and Service Shops. Superb photography as we have all come to expect!
Note: I will be posting final pictures of the Loco Shop in the near future.
Again, congrats!
Jim
Jaime, Phil, John, Bryan AlanH, David, Richard, Michael, Dustin, and Muddy thanks for the kind words and encouragement. It was a great kit to start with. AlanH, can't wait to see what you do with your kit, make sure you post it!
Bill, thanks so much and it was great seeing you at EXPO and congratulations on your award for the Deer Creek Mine, well deserved and great to be able to peruse every nook and cranny.
Well thanks Mike, coming from such a veteran top shelf modeler it means a lot. I followed your every move when you were posting your Loco and Service Shops build some time ago. That one received an award as well if my memory serves me, may be a bit cloudy in your mind as well since there has been so many awards come your way! Thanks again.
Hey Jim, there you are. Pretty cool huh? You are going to have to make an appearance one of these days you know. Either you or your work or preferably both! Thanks for your thoughts and a good photo post(s) will follow soon...Ken
Well said with your victory speech. Phil, thanks for posting the picture of the 3 of you...I see Bill combed his hair for the photoshoot...

Congrats and a well deserved award. Just catching up on some forum stuff. Sorry I wasn't there to cheer you on but thank goodness I didn't have to pit my model against yours.
Nice to have Brett's models as a base to inspire and push you towards greatness.
Keep up the great work.
