That's actually the note for the models on the opposite side of the table.Josh: That pic of the Southern Pac 7370---who made that---I can't read the ding note there! Amazing workmanship there!
Overall that must've been one peach of a show---what was the attendance like?
I just finished the Walthers refinery kit on Sunday.
This was a fun kit to build, and I enjoy the results. I did do some lite weathering of the structure, nothing to heavy. Just a used look. It will be joined by a few other kits on the layout to hopefully create a convincing complex.

This last picture I'm particularly proud of. It's just after I installed it on the layout. To get the smoke unit to work properly was a bit of a challenge, but I managed.

... Just kidding.
Ron, what scale is that refinery please?
New little brick pump house that I finished today. Walls are N-Scale Architect O scale brick, it is layered on the cornice and base to get the "ornate" look of the 1900's. Individual wood shingles on the roof. Door is a modified Grant Line piece which is shown partly open with hinges/latch and handles added.
