It's not called a Challenge for nothing. I'm sure you'll have no worries sorting out this rough kit. I guess for some manufacturers, the quality just wasn't as high years ago. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2951 CNE1899 Engine Wiper Supporting Member Posted - 01/11/2021 :  1:40:19 PM     Mike, I have no experience with RR building kits! But I do like to watch your Build threads. Looks like a neat building!

I painted the walls inside and out, figuring that with the numerous large windows I should use green for the interior. The windows and doors are primed and painted. And, I’m working on the roof. I’ll be working on the roof and glazing the windows. Mike _________________________________________________ Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Good call on painting the interior, it's all looking wonderful so far. Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 9161 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/11/2021 :  7:19:46 PM       Thank you, Greg. It does seem to be going quickly. The weather’s been cold so I’m spending more time indoors modeling. Plus, I’ve done the easy steps. The roof and trim will slow me down. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7482 mikethetrainman Fireman Posted - 01/29/2021 :  3:05:35 PM     Mike great start on the tower. All those windows beg for interior detail. Very nice work. Looking forward to more. Mike Mace Northern Division of the Santa Fe Country: USA | Posts: 1903 postalkarl Fireman Posted - 01/31/2021 :  03:34:17 AM     Hey Mike: There's an oldie but goodie.

Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7482 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/31/2021 :  8:15:24 PM       Mike, Old style kit or new style, you'll turn it into a showpiece! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2142 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 03/18/2021 :  11:15:26 AM       I’m back to working on the tower. First of all, thank you David for your kind words. I’ve been slowly working on the roof. The kit came with a stamped card material for roofing; instead I used stick-on slate, weathered with gray powders in wet water. For the brick paper supplied with the kit I substituted Holgate & Reynolds brick sheet. Next: back to the walls.

Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33524 Carl B Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/18/2021 :  11:41:56 AM     Mike, is the H&R brick sheet on the chimney? Country: USA | Posts: 4240 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 03/18/2021 :  1:44:35 PM     Nice roof work, Mike. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16944 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 03/18/2021 :  4:46:20 PM       Bruce, Carl and George, thank you for your nice comments. Carl, the H&R brick sheet is wrapped around a wood core, which was provided.
