Carl, I appreciate the kind words.
The excellent work that others on the Forum are doing encourages me to keep moving forward.
Here are a few pictures of the Santa Fe Dining Car scratch build under construction. I like my refrigerator with the staple handles. The Grill Hood took forever for the Krazy Glue to start to dry. There are no O-gauge cooks made by Preiser, so I have reworked and painted other figures. I had to grind a quarter inch off the cook. He is now shorter. He is a "Short order cook".
The opposite counter under the three kitchen windows will have two sinks in it. I hope to use staples to create facets and handles.
Until tomorrow, John Rowlen
Update: It's tomorrow. I finished the opposite counter and a small refrigerator for salads and desserts at the entrance to the kitchen. I need new paint for the stainless steel counters and sinks . . . so this is where I pause until I can finish the kitchen.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
