    Thank you for the compliments! I'm thoroughly enjoying these projects, and sharing them is half the fun.

    The Lakeside Inn is still on the drawing board, but delayed. At first, I was having trouble locating a supplier able to provide 55 of the specific window that I needed. Then I got caught up with the handcar shed, and a couple of magazine articles, and then the rush to get this caboose done for the October division meeting. The summer just flew by.

    This caboose is ready for service! Still a tiny bit of weathering left to do, but otherwise done...

    Finished the last of the weathering and detailing on the caboose. To celebrate, I made a very short little video of it being pulled by #506. Enjoy!
