    Well, I've assembled a pair of Micronart girder bridges using superglue, and I found this no big deal... I've a few more Micronart structures kits in their packs and I'll do the same.

    Furthermore I personnally met Reynard and his wife some 15 to 20 years ago, I found these fellows very pleasing and I my opinion they deserved better than having to shut down their business. :( But indeed life is life...

    Just finished and extensive search of Micron Art items, and everything good is gone. I was looking for the 1913 Model T delivery truck. I probably have one in my brass kits box, but this is a model I seen in a photo loading 5 and 8 gallon milk cans into an NP boxcar.

    Since it's a flat piece of brass, I was going to try and duplicate it on the laser engraver, so I can outfit my depots for the morning milk run. I got a large order of milk bottles and milk crates from Walt's Trainz and Things in, and they are perfect for the scene.

    Another case of "If you see it, get it, for tomorrow it will be gone!"

    I am going to miss Micron Arts. They were not cheap, but I like how they try to make it a realistic size. I am glad I bought the station before they shut down.
