Wow. I'm very sorry to read about the right shoulder, Max. Mine was the left RC, twice, but nothing that bad. Since then, a guitar or mandolin strap is not the greatest thing to have hanging off it. Hopefully, you aren't limited in your modeling. Such nice photos (good publicist?), but I can see how the travel would lose its appeal.
Across all New England today we are due for a Mother's Day drencher, so I can't finish the remaining wood priming. After church, (where I will atone for my wanton yet somehow surprisingly wholesome musician days) I will try and write-up why using the diner model's supplied inside and outside trim forces you to pay special attention to the window detailing. And, for which in my opinion, they don't provide an adequate solution. It seems that the challenge of this kit keeps coming back to "window treatments"!
Perhaps I'll close with a word or two about my attempts at mass producing O scale diner china. Then it's back to the dissertation chapter for the rainy remainder.
How about a new title for this post: The Tin Whistle Stop Diner? 
Stay tuned as I fiddle around some more ...
TRRR
