All of this talk about unbuilt kits got me to thinking about what is still on the shelf…
At present there are 35 unbuilt resin kits + 47 unbuilt plastic kits + six kit-bashes in various stages of modification on the workbench. All of this has somewhat been put aside as the current focus is on the layout. ‘
That said… once in a while kit building is a relaxing break from layout construction. Work on the layout … work on a freight car … work on the layout … repeat. I had a friend that called such “planning” as the “raindrop theory”. Progress is being made on a number of projects but eventually they all get completed. Just like raindrops eventually cover all of the sidewalk.
