The problem of course, is while you get a lot of variety you can really only do one thing at a time. Too many things half-done means nothing looks finished. Potential large layout builders heed my words � the lack of focus caused by having too many things started and nothing finished has killed off lots of large layouts and is nothing to sneeze at!
Enough editorializing.
In an effort to overcome the �everything started nothing finished� syndrome I�ve decided to focus my attention on the structures in and around Waterbury. Why? Well, several of them are �half-started� and I have the information necessary for most of them. Perhaps most important Waterbury is the first scene you see when you come down the stairs into the layout area. Finally, this Phil Hasting�s photo of Waterbury is the one image that got me started modeling the CV of the steam era.
We�ll get started with the feed mill visible to the right in this photo. Here's what the same feed mill looked like the first time I saw it (sometime in the late 1980s, as I recall).
