Just catching up, Bob. That looks great. I took the bus many times to Winnipeg from my home town when I was in high school. Your build and the picture bring back memories of another era.

Not really. I've been busy and any free time I have had of late has been spent mostly outside. You may have seen the videos of Wascana Canyon Railway on You Tube or in Garden Railways magazine. The builder is a friend of mine and fellow club member. This spring he sold his house and moved into a condo with no yard for his G scale. (He also models in smaller scales inside.) I bought his G scale equipment and have been setting it up in my yard. I hope to get back to the sternwheeler again soon.

WOW Bob, I wish I had just 10 percent of the skill you have with plastics: That cigarette machine is incredible. And the photo also takes me back to my days in the military, traveling by bus to many locations, and having coffee, buying cigarettes, candy, newspapers and magazines. Boy what ever happened to those great spots and days. As mentioned by Jeff, you have brought back fond memories of days gone by...that seem like just yesterday. I remember all the ladies that worked those counters were always so friendly and polite and always made you feel welcomed...

Nice job so far on the vending machine. Looking forward to seeing your rendition of the coffee shop.

Bob, that cigarette machine looks fabulous! Even though this photo of it, was taken using smokes & mirrors.

Bob,
I'm really glad you clarified that. I was ready to scream at Charlie before he put the quarter in.... 
Very nice work, as always. Please keep us in the loop!
