(...) Hi Jim, This is simply spectacular. I've been watching the very promising progress shots on BS and I'm stunned at the end result. Absolutely brilliant!

Thank you for all of your generous comments. This MOC is my third Lugnet post and guess the third time is the charm. My previous two came and went rather quietly with 1 or 2 responses (while posts such as a swastica spaceship generated massive (...) (19 years ago, 23-May-06, to lugnet.town, lugnet.trains, FTX) !

Wow! Beautiful job, Jim. The photo totally fooled me. "Why did he include such a large image of the actual building?" was my first thought.
