That phone is amazing, Rick… along with all the other details.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
Bill, yes they are scratch built, if you enlarge the pictures it is easy to tell by all the rough work.
David, no change yet and no dial tone because I have to contact the phone company after I install the building so they can run a line in 
,
Well, if you’re gonna hook it up Rick, I wanna see the electrics – transformers, cap’s, relays, wiring – when you open up the telephone’s case.
But you probably don’t have the time for the extra pic, and yeah, it’s probably all in there… never mind.
Not sure if you could hear what came though the handset though? Well, you could say you did, and we’d believe you.
Got the building signs finished yesterday, nothing left now but the window signs advertising the weekly sales.

Halloween is catching on here and I’ve been printing cards that the kids can put together during their sugar high.
I saw this and thought surely a 3d printer could do this.
…and
Apparently so!

Looks good Bill, quote me a price on 100 delivered with the Purity logo on the swing down seat
i would be content with just half a dozen. in scale 1:1 please.
Korm, I think we can do better than that.
Instead of 12 trolleys in 1:1, how about 1 trolley in 12:1?
whow! in that one would fit all the merchandise of my store.
Well this one is done and ready for the layout next Spring.
We have a light in the overhead “porch” area and a couple LED’s inside for brightness.
I will probably fog the inside with flat black to cut down on the amount of brightness and reflected light.
On to another project.

Bravo, bellissimo, 20 characters
Came across this fellow on my news feed this weekend. His attention to detail reminded me of what you’ve accomplished.
Really impressive, thanks for sharing Bill.
Now on to something a whole lot less impressive.
A water tank restoration and a oil tank build for the yards in Fields Landing.
This is one of the last structures I inherited a year or so back and it is time to get it rebuilt and ready for the railroad.
The way i it arrived on the Shasta Pacific, the cans on the right are for the fuel oil tank build.
Pretty rough but I think all the pieces are there but it is hard to tell for sure.
We will see how this comes together.
