Eric, My intention wasn't mean spirited or trying to negatively critique your work. I was just adding my feedback for the changes and some ideas and questions I had about what you're doing.
Steve, my comment was NOT directed at you at all. I enjoy and appreciate your support very much on this project.
I am building a truck repair shop. The narrow gauge tracks are from a previous building that stood on the spot but burned. The tracks are basically abandoned but for one vintage gas-powered railcar. A vintage kit that blows my mind for detail. All cast metal.
I just took a close look at the reference photos of the work pit. I zeroed in on the hinges for the folding 'doors' that can cover the pit when not in use. Never would have thought of that and it's a nice feature to model. I have a work pit in a 2 stall engine house that I'll try to rework the wood floor to incorporate this in. 1:1 reference photos are simply great Terry
I'm not sure about its sexuality, and I'm sure nobody here cares, but, why didn't you use the pump from the kit, the SierraWest one is much more detailed
I'm waiting for the clear globe bit. And need advice on how to color it, my venture above obviously didn't work. This is also obviously not a SW casting, and my attempts to tease Karl have ended in disgrace and failure. I will desist from humor or goofing around as much as I can, even if I've been locked in this house for a year now and have gone half insane.
The pump in the Truck Repair kit does not have a sign topper so no sign was included. If you like I can send you the sign topper metal casting and signs.
