Such a clean built, I wish I could still work that clean, very nice work sir.
I had no idea those Orel kits had that level of detail.

Btw, my wife asks if there aren't any cars supplied, she thinks it would be even more interesting with cars on it... on the other hand of course... cars at 1/200 hmmm, I think I would pass on that.

I thank each of you for the compliments!

Dan, there is one bus supplied with the kit. It looked "older than mid-1960's" to me and that's one reason I did not make it. Another reason is I did not think having just one vehicle would look that great. There is a way around making a full load of cars, and that is to only make a few cars for each end. Since I did not cut out the car deck windows, you cannot see through the sides and it would be hard to tell the middle is empty. (But as you can see, I passed on that also.)

Best regards,
Kurt

Thank you, Roncar! By the way, I took some tips from you on using glue stick to laminate the doubled parts and it went very well this time. (Hard to get the brand you listed around here, so I used another with your hints). I applied the glue stick to the back of both sides, made sure to cover completely to the edges (had to look at light reflection to check since my glue isn't colored), pressed it thoroughly, and left a book on top during the drying. Not one of the parts unzipped whle I was cutting them!

Best regards,
Kurt
