  1. I have the RP miter cutter and I'm quite pleased with it. https://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/tools-supplies-cutting-cutr-mitre-cutter-p-11167.html?sort=2a&search_in_description=0&keywords=rp cutter
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Thank you, James and a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. Thank you, Phil. Happy Holidays;. Thank you kindly, John. Happy Holidays;. Thank you, Eberhard. Happy Holidays;. Thank you, Bob. Happy Holidays. Thank you very much, Tom. It was kinda fiddly but I'm pleased with the way they turned out. Happy Holidays;. Thank you, Pat. Happy Holidays;.
  7. Thank you, Chris and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
  8. 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
  9. And a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, Keith.
  10. Rul, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  11. 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.
  12. And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Johann.
  13. 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.
  14. Thank you, Eberhard and a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
  15. Fenris, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.
  16. Terry, the best way to attach would be CA gel (super glue) IMHO. Make sure all is right before dabbing the plastic deck with the CA gel and then applying the wood deck. As far as decoration please resist adding treenails (trunnels/wooden pegs) with a pointed pencil. At scale one wouldn't see the wooden pegs. As far a staining or painting that's up to you the captain.
