I had a great time last week. This was my eighth consecutive time as a vendor in the Orange Hall and I am very glad I have entered into the O Scale modelmaking world. Although I came home with more inventory than I wanted to, both Thursday and Friday were record-breaking days for me for overall orders. I believe that our new Paterson Silk Mill and Pickwick Hotel were met positively and we will continue to develop shadowbox and building models based upon historic significance, my interest in their stories and/or the ability to create multiple variations outside of the real thing. Case in point, the Laurel Rex Fire Station will follow the D.F. Stauffer Biscuit Co. project in our York Historic Building Series for this coming October. I stumbled upon the station four Yorks ago while desperately seeking window glazing material that was found at a great little art supply shop on the same block. With our experience on the Paterson Silk Mill project under our belt, I believe that were ready to tackle YORK-2, albeit without the animal crackers.
Thank you very much to Peter for including me in Thursday's diner breakfast and Friday night's dinner out and for my "regular" customers for stopping by to shake and howdy.
