    ... and it's getting harder and harder to help promote the work my friend is doing. My friend Bruce recently lost a leg and to try to keep himself busy and earn a few bucks on the side he is making resin buildings and he has done bridges as well. He also makes wooden trestles. Please check out his eBay listings! The building that I am linking is really a neat structure and I have one on my layout. It looks really good and he does some great work! I am also attaching a few pics of his previous work. His stuff is cheap, and he really loves what he does. If nothing else, please just give his stuff a look and see if there is anything that may interest you! The tunnel portal he has for sale right now is a less detailed version of the portal entrance he will be using for a Moffat Tunnel kit he is trying to create. I can also take custom orders and pass the info along if there is something that you guys would like made or to see if it could be made. Thank you all very much.

    Would there be any interest in a Moffat Tunnel kit? He is also trying to produce an accurate aux. water tender to go with the 3985 and 844 if anyone ever makes one in N scale.

    Thanks for the lead............I've got him as a "saved seller" on ebay. Let him know that if he can come up with some "background" industrial "flats" in N scale, he might just have a hot item. ( I'd buy a bunch!! )

    I let him know and will be passing on your info when I go visit him tonight after class. I spoke with him on the phone and he said that he would be more than happy to make some! If you guys want to throw out some ideas or descriptions of what you are looking for I will pass those on as well and we can get to work! I am really hoping that I can help him get some things going soon, and I really appreciate you guys helping out even if it's just input! He needs to raise $5K for a new socket for his prosthetic leg and every bit helps!!

    Hi im Bruce friend of Brian (Sierra117) I would just like to introduce myself. I can model an industrial back drop building that has 3 freight doors & 7 windows. Did you just want a flat wall building to put against a back drop? Or did you have something else in mind? Let me know I will see what I can come up with.

    ALSO; my U.P. water tender aux. car is on its way. I have some small problems but I hope to have the flaws worked out soon. Should be ready by Feb. Moffat tunnel to come in March.:tb-biggrin:
