In the lowered position would be an interesting and somewhat unusual way for a model to be displayed B.E. and therefore adds an extra degree of interest to the model. I’m liking this arrangement.

Wow Mark - just WOW! What an outstanding job you have done with that painting! And thank you so much for sharing your experience and methods with us all - that is so valuable.

I somehow missed the start of this build Ben, but I’m here now and fascinated to watch your progress. It looks like there are some more innovations with this kit design - great to see.

Well, my vote may be a late count Glen, but I’m glad you decided on #2. With the rock coming from your own property, it could represent “East meets West” in the story-telling.

Congratulations on completing a fine build Kevin. 

Congratulations Glen - a truly  magnificent job and absolutely deserving to have your name on the plaque as well.

Another interesting project Keith - I’m in for the ride.

Congratulations on a truly outstanding build Keith. What a pleasure it has been to follow along as you brought this to life.

Just WOW! Glen - another masterclass in ingenuity!

Packaging these things are a pain.  A massive pile on the table of round items that roll.   I count by two's

 

Just a thought Chuck - could you fill/count packages by weight rather than counting individual items?

So pleased for you Chuck to have such a “first world” problem. Long may it continue!

and then, once Mrs W has left the premises, wander around the house looking where it will fit in.

You are a very brave man B.E.! Good luck with that strategy.

Lula is looking fantastic Keith. Very sorry to hear of your health issue. You are in my thoughts for the 30th and I wish you a speedy recovery.

Yep, still mopping up the coffee off my keyboard!

Wonderful to see you back and working on this exquisite model Remco. Did the rat in the hold survive the lay-off?

All of your SIBs are winners in our eyes Glen!

Very clever design and use of jigs Mike - great work!

Sorry to hear of your recent health issues Keith. I wish you a speedy recovery as you contemplate your engineering challenges.

That is just outstanding Glen! Congratulations and well done on yet another fine example of the SIB art.

Superb job on the weathering of those planks Glen!

Congratulations Glen, absolutely fantastic. But then, I never had any doubt that you would pull this off. 😃

Always educational and inspirational following your builds B.E. So I’ve pulled up a chair in the front row for this one too.

Great work Jeff. Nice to see you going the extra mile with the lighting and RR track ties.

That’s tough Alan, but as others have said, you won’t regret the decision to do-over and more than likely will be more satisfied with the result second time around. You’re doing a first class job.

Congratulations Keith on a fine build and an interesting story to boot. And then there was the bonus of the “Donkey Oatey” joke, which I have added to my arsenal of “Dad jokes” and have deployed several times recently!
