Posted - 09/05/2017 : 8:28:59 PM My father-in-law had a Texaco garage, and my wife has hinted for quite a while that I build a version of it. Well, there is no way that he would ever have let his garage get as run down as the one I built. Sorry, Earl, but I couldn't help myself. I like to model decrepit things.

Posted - 10/18/2017 : 11:01:59 PM Ed, a build like the produce one is a lot of fun, especially when it’s time to scenic it. I spent some time looking at real places selling produce for ideas. I will be the first to admit that I copy stuff that other modelers have done, but I try hard to add a few new things too. I think you will enjoy building it. |

Posted - 10/18/2017 : 10:53:31 PM Ed, I’ve never been to the CC, probably because I spend most of my time when in Oakmont at the mystery book store and the bakery. Wow, what a place the bakery is!
Thanks, Ted. I suppose I should try to organize the Flickr pages better, but it probably will never happen. Every time I look at Mario’s pages, I wonder how in the world he found time to create them. I have spent many evenings there and haven’t seen it all yet. How do you do it, Mario? I’m sure glad you do, though. |

Posted - 10/18/2017 : 10:40:42 PM Terry, I just spent over an hour looking at your site and Mario's site taking in your wonderful modeling. Your take on Perkins Produce is very inspirational. I built that (HO) in the 80's and just got the O scale (Morgan) version. I will strive to come close to your effort. Hell may as well go for broke. If I come half way, I will be over joyed. ed |

Posted - 10/18/2017 : 8:34:21 PM Terry, Setting high standards results in stunning work. I would expect nothing less from a Pa. gentleman. I used to live in the greater Philadelphia area. But I love the greater Pittsburgh area. Especially Oakmont C C. Your site is a joy to look at. ed |

Terry, Incredible. Is the Ackle Shed also O scale. Whatever scale it is, you have duplicated the talent of the man himself. WOW!! ed
Ed, the Ackle Shed is O scale and might be the favorite build of mine. Fortunately, Mr. Ackle is willing to share his techniques. Unfortunately for me, he works in a much larger scale, so I had a lot of frustrating time trying to duplicate things he does. |

Terry, I need to refer to webster's dictionary for a while, to come up with original words to describe the pictures of the incredible modeling skills demonstrated in all those awesome pictures.
For now the truth repeated over and over will have to do since I don't know how to read an actual book these days. . Thanx Thom...
Terry, Haven't been able to find original words in this dictionary that others haven't said a million times over.
I can't figure how to swipe left the cover yet. I don't know what to do since mamma took away my I-phone for watchin to much train porn.
So I'll say it again- The pictures of the incredible modeling skills demonstrated in all those awesome pictures. jerry you da man! Thanx Thom...
