| My mill building missing parts have arrived and work is underway on the kit. |
Shortly there will be one million blog view...if that is you, lets hear from you and what you like the most about the blog. I had a few random photos that I thought I would share with you...George Dutka

| The mill will be having some of the weathered wood showing through the paint. Here we see Hunterline stain applied. |

| A CP WB waiting a crew at the west end of the yard in London, Ont. Feb 3 2021. |
 |
| CV 4553 is seen in 1958. Note the small fuel tank compared to the Athearn model. Also what is interesting is the location of the re-railers. They are next to the fuel tank. Most CV geep's have the re-railers on the walkway outside the engineman's window. |

| The current Railfan (Feb 2021) is all Canadian content. This view is from the RMC site. |
 |
| My FOS Atlas Gorge arrived about a week ago. I noted on-line someone has already completed building his kit which I find surprising...a really quick worker. |
 |
| The yard crew assembled train 434 at London East. The crew will be changed out shortly. The new crew will switch the power around for a better leading engine. Feb. 3, 2021 |

| Brian Smith sent me this photo after my Pillsbury post of one of the cars in St. Thomas. |

| Steve Boyko recently posted some extra views of Pillsbury cars on his blog site. The link is on the sidebar or seen in this photo. |
George, I contacted Athearn about the fuel tank on the CV GP9 and said they do not have a replacement in stock. If you hear anything from them let me know. They also told me that they must have the registration form if you need replacement parts. John
ReplyDeleteHi John
DeleteWill let you know what I find out from Athearn. Don is after them for some replacement parts...will keep you posted...George
Hi George. Which mill kit is this? Thanks. Cheers, Ted
ReplyDeleteHi Ted
DeleteIt is H W Myers & Sons which stands in Bennington, Vt. by South River Modelworks
George, What is the overall footprint width and length of the mill. You're posts by you and Don jump start me to do projects that have been sitting around, I finished East Deerfield Tower and scratch built the creamery you posted photos of at Waterbury, which you also had and had an article about in the Ambassador and also working on some BCW passenger cars, the most modeling I have done in years. Keep on doing what you're doing. John
ReplyDeleteHi John:
DeleteThe feed mill measures 97' by 29'. It is a nice kit. Don has built it too and I will post some photos I took of Don's model and maybe a few of the SRM display model...George
Well George, I bought the kit... and I blame you. Thanks, I liked the structure because it is a prototype which is located in Bennington VT I am modeling North Bennington so I'll just plug this structure down the line a bit after I relocate Crosby Coal ! Thanks again for the heads-up JOHN
ReplyDeleteGlad you found one John...SRM are nice kits...George
