Transfer Station Rusty Stumps kit

[mabloodhound]

I finished this kit last night after working on it, on and off, for two months.   It is a laser kit but has some of the qualities of a craftsman kit.
Walt, of Rusty Stumps did a good job of laser cutting the parts and writing up detailed plans and instructions.   It was packed very well and includes a number of detail freight pieces, wood crates and an outhouse.
I modified the build to suit my layout plans for 1920 New England.   I also had a chance to use the real wood cedar shingles from RSSM.   They were somewhat fragile but resulted in a prototypical look.
The station is named for my grandfather who was in the business of picking up raw milk from the farms of Western Mass. and delivering them to the dairy in the city for processing.   As such, he was a transfer agent.

Interesiting to see one of these...... I remeber looking at the SU-drawings when Walt was developing this....first time I have seen an actual finished model.

Impressive!
Looks like Walt has done a good job, and your building is great.
I could see a lot of places where one of these would fit.
Just a little weathering and it would be even better!

Thanks guys,
It is a nice kit and easily modified.   Weathering, yes.   I need to pickup some chalks or Bragdons to get that done.   I just seem to want to finish a build and then set it aside for weathering later on.
Maybe time will weather it? LOL
