I get a great amount of statisfaction out of building a wood and bristle board kit. I've built just about all of the Alpine models, a lot of them back when it was called Suydam. These kits are cheap to buy and easy to build (look on eBay). They are a good way to graduate from the plastic to the craftsman kits. I hesitate to use the word "craftsman" as it scares people away. Another good thing about the Alpine is they have a smaller footprint so the don't overwhelm the trains and you can use more buildings. One can not say enough about Campbell, just follow the instructions and it'll turn out beautifully, and you will be so proud that you'll bust many a button bragging about it. One idea - paint some of the items BEFORE putting them on. Wood is an easy mediun to work in, if you just take your time. Have a good time Bob
