Re: Charlie b's layout - Charlie B - 12-14-2017
Wayne, I have been in limbo for sure. I have found some inspiration to get some things done. I almost messed up though, I have some Jordan kits to build so I started with a 1923 Mack hook and ladder truck which my hometown actually had one. I know these kits are really not for me but I have made this a one part applied every other day or so. Worse case scenario will be it finds a spot in a junk yard.

Yeah, some of the Jordan kits can be a bit fussy to build, but with some care, can be very nice models. In my opinion, one of their nicest ones (assembly-wise) is the '28 Model A sedan, and I have several.

That's coming along very nicely, Charlie.
Nice to see at least one of us getting stuff done.Wayne

Thanks for the encouragement guys. I have been concerned about the end going to space, but I have seen layouts with highways to heaven so I guess I can have a coal bridge to heaven. I worked on it again last night putting some lights on it. I didn't take any updated photos. I'll try to finish it today and move on to another project.

The lights are installed, and the buggies built and filled.

Good to see it in-service, Charlie!

I put some water spouts on today and hired a crew to shovel coal. I see 3 are already hiding and the other 2 are conversing. At least one of the guys has a shovel. They best be moving because once the glue sets they will be there forever. :mrgreen:

This looks amazing, Charlie. I really like the pole building you put together to go in it.

Several years ago at one of our Samoyed Rescue parties in N Carolina our friend from Australia brought this kit for me. I completed it and it is in a temporary location on the layout.
Her name is Leanne so I had to let her have her own business.
