[jim currie]

while these two are not in the box kits they are in enough pieces that it's like a kit the stock yard is something my son got in a lot he bought the ice-cream shop is something i got in a grab bad years ago time to make something useful out of them.

I put that ice cream shop together many moons ago for my first layout. I recall it being a bit of a nightmare for a 12-year old, but GOOD LUCK!

started on pen got most of the pieces laid out found a few are missing the company who produced it and the person who started this knew nothing about shipping /holding pens need to add a few things like feed bunks and water troughs also will add a tack shed on the side where there will be as small bunkhouse and shelter horses used there and a couple more gates so go's inherited wealth.

ok here is the progress its stuck to gather with sprit gum .I'm going to not use the truck unloading ramp it's too wide and there are no gates to direct the flow off flow truck so I'm just going to use the pens that have gates sticking the truck ramp in my scrap box, then i will add feed bunks and water troths in them.

Bring on the steers and heifers! Looking good.

here where I'm at started gluing down the parts as i said before the truck ramp is history as i model the 50's hauling cattle by truck was in its infancy the shed covered pens will be added after I add the feed bunks and water troths and cows, had to revamp one gate as it was in wrong spot. This it is taking more time as it's a lousy kit hope the ice cream shop is better.
