The building is great, Scott, and the scene with the characters and the laundry is really charming.

Troels' boat building inspired me to spruce down a little Coast Guard Picket Boat my friend Marc built for me a while back. His gift was "Coastie" clean. However, I could not resist giving it a more well worn look. In these views the boat is just returning from a successful Rum Running intervention. Officer O'Malley is on the dock waiting to take the culprit into custody. Next to him is the young seaman, Marc, showing up for his first duty. The culprit, Jim Biem, is handcuffed to the ladder and watched over by the boats mascot, "Runner". I have also added a few pictures of some industries I "planted into the landscape and some views of the evolving town of Valjean. If you are in town (Sacramento) in July for the NMRA convention, look me up, I am on one of the open house tours (the Rocklin Rocket I think...) Scott

It's always a pleasure to see you add more pictures of your layout.
I love the boat. I also love the great sign with the girl in red and Coca-Cola. That makes a beautiful wall.

Hey Scott, your small town looks great, as does the dock scene.

Hi Scott, your topic is another must for me. I like your portrayal of difficult but believable situations which always have a purpose and story behind them. The supported buildings are just another way of land reclamation. The wood supports look about right, and if they look right they is right as my old stress tutor used to say.

| I have uploaded a couple of new videos. The first one is Update (narrated) tour of the changes since last time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1aIFgdyYQ0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Sorry about the roughness in parts - shot as one take with no way to edit. The other can be found in the same video area, it is labeled a "Hobo's view". I shot this putting the camera at the back of the train versus being pushed by the engine. A little different look. Thanks to Dave S. for use of his camera car. Scott |

| Well, lad, any OIC who let his unit's small boats get into that sad shape would be canned and sent to large white one (cutter) out of Dutch Harbor. Obviously, the new non-rate has his work cut out for him getting that butt-fugly craft into shape. Of course, if it were a Navy boat the condition would be better than normal. |

At our monthly module group meeting John C. demonstrated a conifer tree technique using the furnace filter method. Thought I would give it a try - I really like it. Attached are a few (rather dark photos, sorry) of two tall furnace filter trees and three "bottle brush" trees. I used balsa trunks vs. wood dowels. The two dogs on the couch are my helpers Belle and Willie - they are exhausted. Scott
