Hello, I am happy to show images of two kits. <br /> <br />I acquired these recently via Ebay and they were fairly complete. The previous owner did a very good work with them. I noticed that the sand pole was missing so I scratch built a new pole and added a sand hose to it. I guess it was my first small built from scratch part that was needed. <br /> <br />I left the bases bare as they will be covered in scenery. There was a horrible "Orange Fire Red" color on the raw plastic used in the kit, I decided to put some Floquil Weathered Black down and clean up the roofs. The entire refirbushing and repainting process took a week. <br /> <br />I left most of the structures untouched as the original builder did a very fine job and I saw no reason to change it. Dullcote will be applied. I posed a BLI NW-7 B&O switcher near it as it will be it's main service area. <br /> <br />On one of the footings that was painted aged concrete from floquil was a molded trademark "Revell Inc. 1960" I did have the orginal instruction manual and box from the purchase. So without further ado, I decided to declare this service area ready for another 45 years. <br /> <br />Sand House <br />[URL=http://img234.echo.cx/my.php?image=sandhouse4kv.jpg][IMG]http://img234.echo.cx/img234/1575/sandhouse4kv.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] <br /> <br />Fuel area <br />[URL=http://img234.echo.cx/my.php?image=fuelarea3dm.jpg][IMG]http://img234.echo.cx/img234/9913/fuelarea3dm.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL] <br /> <br />Enjoy!
