    Nice work there! If you ever wish the see the real one, it's been moved to the Strasburg Railroad in Lancaster County, PA. Nice that it's been saved.

    Hey Scott, that was the way the kit came,
    I haven't added any color.

    Hello Hardcoaler, didn't know that
    Thanks for that info

    Building this at the moment

    Didn't realize when buying it
    That this has 3 levels

    So may not even use it on my Layout unless I make it capable of being used.

    Still enjoying the building of this kit

    Oh by the way I had a really hard time doing the Stairs in past kits and just nixed them.

    This kit I am slowly and carefully building
    the necessary stairs but they will be stairs
    to nowhere, cause I doubt I will cut and dig out
    a portion of my layout to make this usable.

    Oh well

    Nice photo

    You do know ?
    GCLaser makes a Z scale J Tower kit
    gcl-5340.jpg

    I had attempted to put that kit together
    messed up by mistakenly mixing up in my haste the left and right exterior walls and the stairs I just totally flubbed, plus that was when I noticed my mistake as because I put left/right wrong the stairway would cross the doorway since I messed it completely up. So just put a patch over the rear 2nd floor doorway

    Plus that kit was a gift from GCLaser with a few others.

    May buy another J Tower kit

    I now realize that enthusiasm and or haste
    are detrimental to z scale kit building

    You have a Good upcoming week

    Could be, or possibly a very old Micro-Trains car. Do you have the original pillbox for it? Should have the copyright for the year.

    Nice lookin' car though!(y)
