Thank you, Steve. Thank you, Eric. The one hole stanchions were spares from the Tennessee, they're this close to feeling right. Thank you, Paul. Berry certainly had the face for imagining him being Engel. That gave me a hearty laugh, Tom. -
Thank you to everyone for the likes and for your kind comments. I've got stair railings 2.0 done. I made 1.0 from wood and they looked more fence than rail. 2.0 is a bit elaborate for Billy but looking at the press photo the railings are one of the few items that don't look like they came off the bottom of the junk pile. Admittedly 2.0 is much more elaborate than what's pictured but it looks ten times better that 1.0. There very well could be a 3.0, we'll see. I'm holding auditions for someone to portray A. O. Engel. In normal viewing the railings don't poke you in the eye like the photos do. Thank you guys every so much for your support and for being part of the journey. Keith

Thank you very much, John. The paddle wheels will be the same diameter as a US penny, 0.70" and 0.30" wide. I've built the wheels in my mind countless times, we're getting close to seeing how it goes for real.

One should never use tap water, Steve. Lightly moisten the Q-Tip in your mouth and then gently swab. Ole fashioned spit is the best cleaner but it's slow going. One can only work up so much spit in a sitting.

That's absolutely amazing, Steve.

I did, Keith and I hope your's was as equally grand. Thank you, Eric. When you and Tom made the observation of a center stairway I fretted about the 'how to' of it, I'm glad that part of Billy's build is in the rearview mirror.

That's really neat, Eric.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Dave.

Thank you very much, Geordie. Happy Holidays.

Thank you, Ken. I tried matching the hues in the black and white photo to colors I have in my acrylic craft paint stash. If the colors match The Pennsylvania Railroad color scheme is purely an accident. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Thank you to each of you for your likes and your comments, I've been looking forward to when I could hold Billy in the palm of my hand. I don't think display space is going to be an issue. Finishing the bow took me longer than I anticipated. Everything you see is attached. I wanted to paint the boiler deck so bad........patience self. Eric, Tom, and anyone else who saw in their minds a center located stairs, is this what you where thinking? Thank you to everyone for your support and for following along. And very special Christmas wish for good health and happiness during the holidays and the coming new year. Merry Christmas my dear friends, God Bless. Keith

Rul, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

Most European towns and their buildings are much much older than anything we have here in the Colonies. Because of the age of European towns, their original wooden buildings either burned down in fire storms or were destroyed by war. Because of deforestation rebuilding with wood was impractical thus stone was the logical choice for building material. It blows my tomato to see stone structures in Europe that have had constant occupancy since the 12th and 13th centuries.

And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Johann.

The stairs and the whole main deck look fantastic, John. And the furniture you made for your Constitution is unbelievable. I'm currently working on Billy's stairs and how they transition into the boiler deck so I appreciate what you're going through with Klondike's stairs.

She's moving along nicely. LJP. Quite the beauty.
