I hope you enjoy it Phillip.  It looks like you will see the final copy before I do.   :D

Struck out checking for the issue today at my local bookstores. They carry Kalmbach mags, but the new issue hasn't hit the magazine rack yet.

I finished the carbon black unloading system today, and with that I'll call the original plant build 99% complete.  (Where's the confetti emoji?)


Here is the view one sees as you turn the corner to switch Spur 4.  Tidying up the original build model should not take nearly as long.  I like it.

Huge thumbs up on completing the creation of an impressive industrial complex.  The mass of the structure is SO convincingly conveyed, and I applaud all the scratch built detail throughout.  Great craftsmanship, and a proud accomplishment.

What’s next!
