CSS Draws Near...


It's that time again, the Annual Craftsman Structure Show is just two weeks away. While I definitely think the elves here at the Fos factory could use a vacation, I'm certain our laser cutter does. It's an unbelievable work horse. Considering most goods and products these days are designed with built in, planned obsolescence, our Epilog cutter does not fall into that category. For a machine that is subjected to countless, repetitive moves every day - and ours runs 5 to 6 days a week - it doesn't show it. It just keeps doing what it was designed to do. I wish my PC would run even half as good.

So, we like to take advantage of it by coming out with more unusual, different structure kits. If time permits, we'll have a new HO kit ready for the upcoming show in Mansfield ( see pics above).

If you're registered for the show, you'll be able to see the diorama for our Limited Run Kit, Canal Street and Third. You'll also get to see and meet dozens of vendors and their models; like Crow River Products, Seaport Model Works, Rail Scale Miniatures and more. You can also attend clinics by some of the best modelers in the country like Dave Frary, Dave Revelia and Brian Nolan. On Sunday, you can tour some of the finest layouts in New England, that you may have only seen in the magazines like Dick Elwell's Hoosac Valley or Jimmy Deignan's Pennsy layout.

If you haven't registered and would like to head over to www.css09.com.
