Yes, Dennis still makes the roundhouse kit that Laidoffsick did such a wonderful job building and finishing it. I would suggest calling Dennis . I think he only has 30kits left in his limited run roundhouse kit.

Dennis is supposed to be about finished with another group of roundhouses fairly soon. Give him a call or send an e-mail. He is prompt and does a great job with questions, etc.

His instructions and help are tremendous. Knows his stuff.

Yeah...what they all said.  He has some, you can have as many stalls as you want in odd #'s 3,5,7 etc etc and the instructions are fabulous. I had never built a kit of this magnitude let alone plaster.... follow them step by step, get the proper tools (he also tells you everything you will need) and read them many times, and then as you go through each step, it all makes sense and comes together.

Dennis usually doesn't have his phone on during the day because he's doing scenery work 10-12 hours a day, but leave him a message and he'll call you when the work day is over. 

Beautiful work guys!

Hi guys,

Thanks for the kind comments. Yes, I have completed a run of 30 plaster roundhouse kits -some are already ordered. These should be ready to ship after the Jan 1. I have yet to do the packaging and as you can see from laidoffsick's photo, there is plenty of it.

The schedule has been delayed because I was contracted by Roger Farkash at TW TrainWorx to assist with scenery on several layouts. So, I've been in Dallas for the past 2 weeks working with Roger and his team. I'll be here for at least another week.

The best way to reach me is to leave me a message with your email address or simply email me: dennis@brennansmodelrr.com. With my present workday schedule, it's easier for for me to send emails late in the evening or early morning when a phone call would be impractical.

Gentlemen, Thank you all for the feedback and info.  All of this info is invaluable at this time.  I'm in the middle of my basement cleanout and am motivated by this information.  Thanks again and I'll be definitely putting this info to use ASAP. - MARSHELANGELO

Wonderful pictures; fine finishing and details.

Thanks for sharing.
