Progress Shots

I fianlly got working again on my Campbell Talc Factory/Fertilizer Plant. This kit dates from about 1970, well before the laser cutting days, and on balance, it's pretty awful, with a lot of hard cutting needed, terrible instructions, and often not enough material included to complete various steps. I laid it aside for about a year, but in the last several days I got the clearstory roof framing done:[ATTACHMENT NOT FOUND]
So it's close to a first coat of paint and then some roof work.

The UP S-4 is on job YZ20, the East Zenith Switcher, whose work will include the Talc/Fertilizer plant when it's complete. It also serves the Railway Express building to the left, which is a Yorke G Street Warehouse.

It remembers me old wooden boxcar kits from the early 70s... The last time, I built one, I only used the metal parts and used styrene to build as much as I could following th instructions and wood parts.
