    Dear Steve,

    I would say that the Quick Kits from FOS would be good starting points.

      Gee Steve, that was a good question. Now that I'm finished the bulk of my layout and I'm getting into the operations mode, I can slow things down a little and focus on some details and buildings. Watching some of the efforts on the forum, I've been tempted to try out a wood kit. I did a couple a few years back and enjoyed them, but wasn't very good at them. But now it's time to give it another try. All you guys have motivated me!!!

        Hi RSMiley:

        Fos scale has several quick kits or you can go with the Bar Mills Basics. I think there are 8 in the series and don't go over $20.00. Check them out. Both companies havce websites.

          The FOS Fenimore Coal kit goes for $34.00 and discussion is still fresh on it (for over two years now) in the Craftsman Corner:

            All,

            Thanks for the great advice... I just happened to run across a couple of the Bar Mills beginner kits on Ebay for a decent "buy it now" price... so I grabbed them.

            1) Rusty's Radiator Repairs

            Although, I also grabbed the Bar Mills Tylick Tool Company kit... not necessarily a beginners kit !! But I figure it's one for the shelf until I work up to that skill level.

            I'm trying to get my hand on my wife's digital camera... I want to post a few pics of the Campbell Bridge Kit that I've already built... I'd be curious of some feedback.

            Thanks again for your feedback.
