Looks good Robin . I'm looking at the last picture and am interested in your Coke Battery ...looks like a coke pusher ( yellow ) and a Larry Car on top , scratchbuilt , I'm sure .Nice work . Neil

That's really a neat model Val and I'm sure you could get carried away with details if you wanted , with such a grand old hotel . I like the clocks at the main desk with various time settings and the elevator markers showing the different floors . I'm looking forward to your updates . Neil

Nice job on a very unique , interesting structure . It looks like you've given a lot of time and effort to the details . I also like the way you varied the weathering on the board fence . Great Work ! Neil

The column doesn't fit my screen and isn't necessary IMO . Neil

Boy , I'll bet that would be a pain to model ...oops , don't get me started :D Neil

I was at the CARM event in Copetown ( near Hamilton ) 2 weekends ago ...pretty good turnout ..lots of S scale in that region , which we don't see down here . Neil
