Today, the walls went together for the building A assembly of Fox Run.

I will be assembling each of the buildings as subassemblies and then putting everything together on the baseboard.  This build shares the baseboard with the foundry so I will be moving it from the layout back to the workbench for this process.

If you look closely at the picture above you will see a glue bottle tipped up to get the last little bit of glue out.  How does a modeler run out of glue in the middle of a snow storm? :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[  I just ordered a gallon from Amazon - they say it will be here tomorrow.

The walls for the additions to Fox Run are braced and stained.





The contrast between the light and dark areas of walls is enhanced by the fact that the walls are still wet when I took the picture.

The walls for the A building, and tower, from George's instructions are assembled and ready for a roof.

Update: I'm back working on the railroad this afternoon after a hunting and fishing trip up to the Northern Hqrts. of the S&S RR.  I came back with lots of "what ifs" to try on my current and future builds.  No shooter bucks this year but I had a great time with family and friends that I only get to see once or twice a year. So it's back to working on the railroad and it's another Saturday, as our good friend Tom says.

Nice progress on the build John!  Nothing like a little fishing & hunting break to get those juices flowing for some more railroading!

Thank you, and yes the fishing and hunting breaks do generate a lot of ideas. And I always come back eager to get back at the layout.

I got some bench time in this afternoon.  Started adding the window and door castings, black interior paint, and signs to the smaller structures for Fox Run. Here is a picture with the Flour Sign added to the wall.
