If so, would you please comment upon your experiences, and if they were satisfying?

Even though he doesn't advertise it, he does sell O scale cedar shake shingles seperately which work out really well. Have fun.

Joe Rutter is a good kit designer and a swell person to deal with. his current offering Kirk Cannery is really good. I just buy his kits otherwise I have no connection with Full Steam Ahead Jan Kirkwood Country: USA | Posts: 485 railmus Fireman Posted - 11/30/2009 :  1:31:04 PM       Excellent kits - from a happy customer!

They assemble beautifully and they look fabulous placed alone on a shelf or situated in a scene on a diorama or layout. Joe is a great guy, as mentioned already. you'll be very happy with your kit.

I have built many "Full Steam Ahead" kits and as a added bonus, I've had the pleasure to meet and become friends with Joe Rutter, he's all around good guy! So I definitely have a bias, but the truth be said his kit's are fantastic value for the money spent! I've always thought that one of Joe's kits, if sold by another manufacturer, would be twice as mucht money. I am currently doing a build on one of his most recent kit's "Troels Kirk Cannery" you can see me build the kit right before your eyes Right here on this forum. I also think this kit happens to be one of his best. They come with easy to follow instructions and the kit's go together well. Here are a couple of shots of some of the kits of FSA I have built. First up the R G Shinnie Boat works [Gee I wonder why I picked this one} And I know this one happens to be a favorite of Joe's The Wooden Hotel Greg Shinnie Country: Canada | Posts: 1027 Joe Rutter Engine Wiper Posted - 12/06/2009 :  3:59:06 PM       Hi Everyone: Thank you for the very nice compliments. Much of what I do comes from talking to other modelers like yourselves. Yes, Greg I do love the "King Eddie". I still wonder how you got of picture of Jimmy G stumbling out in miniature???? Joe Country: Canada | Posts: 417 railmus Fireman Posted - 12/07/2009 :  11:06:34 AM       Did you all notice the "Law Firm" in Greg's build of the King Edward Hotel???
