You better slow down…you won’t have anything to do next week…:wink:

Looks good!

Now this is something to watch in the building of a layout. By any chance you will doing to do some logging ? That is my main interest but what you are doing is inspiring to say the least.

Just how do you find the time to do all of this ? I have the time but I go slow as I can and do make too many errors.

Cheers and make mine Guinness Stout please. TOF in Hawaii

Greetings, Xavier

Holy batman! That sure causes an itch in my fingers! :cool:

The Man does GOOD work. Very interesting mine and works. Paul

This is one of the best builds I have witnessed in my short time at the hobby. So, when will this be featured in one of the magazines?

Thank so much for your comments, really. This helps to keep working as best I can. In another vein, I decided to build my first wagon platform in 0n30. It’s nothing special.

Sure would like to scratch build but just don’t have the nack for doing it. I do build a lot of kits tho. In fact I spend more time building kits than running trains.

Keep up the fine work Xavier.

How many hours are there in your day ? Probably way more than mine… Looks like the water tank is off on the back side ! Still fine work. Cheers, TOF

Thanks Darryl
I spend about 2 effective hours per day in the project.
I spend more time thinking and looking what I want to do, before do it.!
Thanks again for your kind comments,

Xavier
