Regarding the Charles Building:

Lee--Interesting Chessie tie in.  The CMR instructions indicated that it was based on a real building from the 1960's but didn't give any additional information.  Not being a Chessie expert, in what city is it located?

I wrote many a letter to the Chessie pricing manager for alloys at 2 North Charles Street in Balto.

Hi Rod, the Walthers turntable is a 130' footer, so maybe it's the photos that made the radius look smaller. Still a very impressive structure (but then I've always had a weakness for roundhouses; nothing more uniquely steam era "railroady" than that in my book).
My offer to let you build mine still stands

The cost of freight to send the completed roundhouse might be the only issue LOL. Merry Christmas to you and your family Otto.

And to you bud, err, I mean mate
All the best to you Rod, and yours in 2017!
