That looks like a fun and challenging kit to build, Frank.
What kind of cement will you be using for the acrylic joints?
My winter project will be a laser cut, two story PRR "Harris" tower that also requires over a dozen sheets of instructions.

I'm looking forward to seeing your progress.

About a yr. ago, I was going to see if I could scratch bash one, like I did with the rolling lift bridge I built, Which has yet to be installed on the layout. I have a problem with My right shoulder which has yet to be fixed and It is started to look like it might never be totally fixed. A gift from Vietnam in 67'. Anyway I gave up looking for fodder for the vertical lift bridge and decided to buy the one CMR makes..........even if I never install it on the layout....it will keep Me busy.
So far it looks like it can be challenging......so it will be right up My alley.
No trees to cut parts from sprues.....It is all laser cut acrylic......6lbs of it in sheets and other parts that are already ready to assemble......very hard to tell that they were cut from a sheet. I still am reading all the instructions and trying get familiar with all the parts and what sheet they are on, there are 11 sheets of pre-cut parts.
If you do not like to read.......this kit is not for you......
I'll try to keep the thread updated and show any progress or problem's that I run into. Not thinking of starting for a few days.
Take Care!
Frank
