I use Roberts Brick Mortar for the mortar line's Korber Models sell it , it is easy to use just paint it on when it dry's wipe it off with a damp cloth , you don't have get in any hurry when it dry's I have waited day's before I wiped it off .

Excellent.  Love to see some actual model building being done!

The details really add to it.

I have one of these and an Altoona kit waiting on me-need to get cracking.

How did the actual assembly go?  Everything fit?

I have built about 16 different Korber kit's the best way I have found I weather everything before I assemble it ,sometime you have to do some sanding to get thing's tight , the big kit's do take some time I have about 60hrs in this one .

Great job. I have no room for one, but I may build one for fun.

What would you use as a light to make it look like someone was welding inside?

also, how about a pit under one track to work on the bottom?

Evan Designs has a welding kit's ,I got my LED from them ,my goose neck light's came from OGRE Modeling they are both form sponsor .

Most impressive!!! The detail and lighting is awesome. Can you post some photos once you get them on the layout? With the stalls filled with iron it is going to look amazing.

I didn't build this one, I got in a group of building that I got for a good price, but I just installed LED and goose neck light the other day, it didn't have any and it has a place on the layout all ready .
