[quote user="Canondale61"]Yes Please do, only question should you not have small rust spots on the roof from nail holes? Excellant job on both Burns Coal company and the company house. Now I see what all those extra pieces of wood are for in my Basic Kits [:I][/quote]Thanks for the comments.  Yes, there should be rows of nails (with some rust); however, that would violate my "good enough" rule for this structure.  That is kinda like me using 4 x 8 roof panels instead of the "real" 2 x 8 or 2 x 4 panels.One of the reasons that I am doing this series, is to get comments from others on methods of construction and as basic information for people trying to put a new layout together.  It is a great benefit to get input from Bob, and others, that help the poor guy trying to scratch build his first model or even trying to put a kit together.   My approach is to make this rather informal and casual, rather than a structured "teaching" series.  I am not a "master modeler", but I have been building models for over 50 years (some of them are even pretty good).  I am not a "rivet counter" and tend to use the "good enough" approach to my railroad modeling (I want to have fun, not another "job").  When I get to detailing, I hope that more people will offer tips, methods and examples of "real" detailing work.
