Coming Soon....

We've been busy as usual and have failed to keep up with our blog...apologies. Here's a quick run down of what's in the the works....The layout has taken a back burner at the moment as we work on new projects. Coming up next is the Carrolton Hotel, based on a prototype (pic of railing detail above) as well as a new DVD, which we are in the midst of finishing up. We've also begun work on our Limited Run kit release for the fall...it's in the sketching stage...within a couple of weeks, CAD drawings will be started....we've also been acquiring some new equipment, after the lathe a milling machine came next. Using a lathe on its own is like eating with a knife and no fork - the milling machine is a must. Anyhow, we've been playing around with those machines coming up with new patterns for detail parts. We've also been working on the KitCast podcast, check out the newest episode, episode 3 where we chat with friend and modeler Larry Baker. Lastly we've begun the summer's big project; converting our garage into a new workshop - our current below grade location just doesn't have the fresh air and daylight we'd like - hopefully by summer's end it will be complete...which means more room in the basement for trains...
