    Just finished the General purpose factory 2 build. It was an easy build and simply followed my own directions as listed in the sketch set (http://www.trainboard.com/highball/index.php?resources/general-purpose-factory-2.123/).

    First was printing templates, cutting them out, and using rubber cement, glued to the styrene.

    Nice build thread Gary.
    Is the template something you downloaded from somewhere or did you come-up with this design yourself?

    The templates are part of my sketch sets Joe. Each set (in the resources section) has downloadable templates to complete whichever project you choose. I drew them all using "Sketch-up" and converted them to pdfs.
