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. Goldth

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.

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.

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:     Charlie

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.
