I missed you all!
Moving sucks!
Having a house built is worse!
Finally retired and made it to Tennessee (July 2024)and have a small area (24' x 2') for my 1:16 stuff.
I think I left off with the machine shop.
Here it is currently.
The siding is old pallet wood planed and cut to size.
I've got a lot of things going on (to keep me busy)

The Corliss I made out of brass a looong time ago properly colored.
The machine shop needed an engine!

Hope retirement means loads of modelling time, I want to see more of this!

Greatly missed, nice to see you back. I know about moving and a 20 year divorce and a new house that needs tons of work, so I get it!

A 24' Carter Brothers flat car in 1:16 (18" long) 😳
And yes, I'm smiling! 🤣😂
What's not to love about being retired in paradise?!
