We've been workin' on a Railroad...

Sarah's Griessenbock's web site is at trainkitchen.com. I met her during the last O Scale National convention in Denver. She is a very skilled modeler who among other accomplishments converted a UP 9000 to P48. She did the machining work in her model shop.

Some of her 3D CAD resin models are offered for sale through Matt Herman's 3dcentraltrains.com. She also has a few videos on Youtube.

Thanks Bob! Sarah is very talented!

...but I am very leery of shipping detailed structures - I have done it with success, but remain leery.

I recall seeing Murph's packing methods for displaying and shipping stuff, and it was impressive. His stuff, much as yours, was so incredibly detailed it seemed a miracle any of it would survive. I know he was a fan of delivering his stuff rather than shipping it, and he was willing to go a long distance to do so.

I was always impressed by his willingness to travel distance to deliver.

A few more that were built for others:

Those are terrific, but I'm reminded it's been a terribly long time since my last corndog

Those are terrific,

Thanks! There are others. I just need to find them.

Probably for the best for all parties,

All are very nicely done, Rufus.

I'd wager Grandt Line got a pretty significant part of their income from your account. GRIN!

Sometimes it's just fun to dump out the contents of a couple kits into one big jumble, stir it around a bit, and see what it makes.

This freighthouse is a pile of two or three Korber kits, things that inspire after rooting through a bankers' box of structure bits, and lots of stripwood from the stock to hand kept in one of those plastic under-the-bed trundles. Just started sticking stuff together and this evolved...







Maybe I should have dusted the dam thing?

Indirectly, maybe. There was a time at Strasburg when large boxes of Grandt Line stuff would be present on the floor and you could root through them buying packs for $1 ea. Many (too many?) came home with me,

Very realistic if modelling Union Bridge, Maryland, location of the Lehigh Portland Cement Company. Everything in that town had an ever-present coating of cement dust over it.

Something simple but nothing but good memories linked to this building:

And then there's the infamous....

Scace's Braces looks terrific; the roofing is interesting, not just plain tin roofing.

I've used a bit of one-sided corrugated for roofing various faux-tinplate projects:



I used to find it in the scrapbook section at the craft store, but that seems to have dried up. My current source is the package goods store; it seems a lot of beer advertising signage is mounted on one-sided corrugated. A six-pack of beer and an armload of free beer signs...what could be better than that?

Thanks! I've a good stock of Builders-in-Scale roofing. Just wish I could score some of the real copper roofing they used to sell.

This might be dependent on the qualities of the beer,

A bit more recent structure, yet sold off as well. Something I had a hankering to build just for the fun of it all:
