Neal's O scale Build for the Romantics and the Madmen

Robert.G

Looks like an easy and simple solution for a quick and satisfying result. Perfect as a base for further weathering.

KInd of a final photo of Neal's. Still a few stays to add, but I'll likely wait until I place it on the On30 line.

A very well executed build. Everything blends in well together. Great job Eric.

Very nice! I like your weathering

Details. This really was a wonderful kit. Note cashier sign? I increased the height of the upper door so that it meets the floor better and used the sign to cover the extension seam.

Between your attention to detail and artist eye, you can't do any better. Fantastic.

Robert.G

That's what I've been saying all the time... Beautiful work and very inspiring. Even without a zillion castings , it can be really nice. Sometimes, less is more.

EricMG

UPDATE. One of our Maine Coon Cats toppled my model off a high chest onto the floor. YIKES!

Good thing he has nine lives cuz I’m guessin’ he’s about to lose one of them...were a few choice words uttered???

Cats and model railroads are a dangerous combination.

EricMG

We have two MCs. Not sure which it was. At night, of course, right?

Our Maine Coon kitten Mayfield (20 pounds of young tiger) dropped this off our bureau.

After the crash.

Eric,

It appears that you were able to get everything back ship shape. How did Mayfield come through the ordeal?

Later, Dave S.

EricMG

He's recovering!

Then go back to FB.

Two more after the Coon attack. I build in sections and never glue it all together. This method saved the building.
