[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Capt Bob Johnson And the doors are the real problem! You see houses and stores with all sizes of windows, but doors become standardized; and looking at 1:20.5 doors on a station that a 1:29 car is parked near really points it out. Makes it all look like junk! Even the 1:24 doors are just too big! [/quote] Mornin' Cap'n! FWIW, the Colorado Model Structures doors are cheap and easy to modify, especially if you’ve got a band saw or a table saw. If you cut the bottom off even with the lower rail, then remove about ¾” farther up, you can re-glue the two parts and the surgery is invisible. However, it’s still a PITA and sucks up time you could be devoting elsewhere. After I modified the first successfully, I just went ahead and did all that I had available. What you realize pretty quick is how fast you go through these. A simple business or house is going to use two at a minimum. A small trackside warehouse can easily consume five or six. The pictures I posted in the scratch building forum the other day illustrate exactly what I’m talking about. I thought I had a decent inventory of doors and windows and after only three structures, I’m almost completely out of them. Well, I guess I’ve rambled on enough. I hope you and everyone else going to York has a wonderful time. Ask the Polks when we can expect something to match the 1:29 trains they’ve been selling for the last decade or so. [;)]
