Holy crap, that is some beautiful modeling. Will you come work on my railroad? How do you feel about 1:87? ---

> [@Skammer](#): > > Will you come work on my railroad? How do you feel about 1:87? January, 1987 was a pretty good month, overall, I guess. 😃 Ta-dump sssssshhhh! No, seriously, when Dad was building his monstrous model railroad layout I built a number of cars for it, including three Jordan fire engines. Their Ahrens-Fox is a real beauty. I also built a little house for him, with working lights. But I think he got a little impatient with my prolonged build times 😉 > [@FluffyBob](#): > > …Very cosy looking kitchen! I want to have tea in while flying over the English country side. I do too! ---

Crikey, that’s hard core! I come from the Revell generation of glue-together kits; you put a hell of a lot of real original creativity into your labors! ---
