Chloe, since Bill the Doughnut Man has taken the pressure off PC's credit card, I'm gonna go full-bore: A Western-style omelet with hash browns, a tall glass of Ed's OJ and the standard cuppa joe.[dinner] [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by pcarrell ...We did find a house much closer to where we live now that we are getting.

You'll get the best of both worlds now, a new house and a scenic neighborhood. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by der5997 Ken L: ... Good looking outfit that gas distribution center. Do we take it that’s not a kit, but scratched?[/quote] Thanx John, you guessed it - the original kit by Walthers was discontinued several years ago and it always attracted top-dollar on eBay. Inch - excellent CSX photos, it's reassuring to see that crews are [sometimes] still willing to talk with local bystanders and give them access to some of the better vantage points [;)]... [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by inch53 Ken L , liked your propane plant. What’s the price on yours[/quote] Actually Mike, I'm separating that into two categories: the structures and the vehicles. For the tanks, buildings, etc., since the original price of the Walthers kit was $30, I probably came out about even - spending $20 on Plastruct (min amt. for direct mail orders) plus another $8 on the Evergreen sheet. I'm counting the trucks separately since the Walthers kit did not include those. I bought 3 Athearn Ford C-Series flatbed stake trucks on sale at MB Klein for $7/ea, and spent another $10 on plastruct tubing to convert two of them into propane delivery tankers - adding up to a total of ~$30. So the combined total dollar amount for everything was about $60. BTW I snapped a few pix of the truck conversion if anybody wants to see them... Later y'all!
