Here Comes Pumpkin Lattes!

Yes, you guessed it; Fall is our *VERY* favorite Season of the year! The A/C units run less frequently, the lawn growth is slowing down, Hurricane Season is winding down, and the Pumpkin Latte is back!
That said, it’s been a very busy Summer which is probably a result of a lot of folks either out of work or now working from home. I find it very relaxing to construct & weather models which could be what some folks are doing during their work-from-home Break Time! We've still got a bunch of casting to get caught up on as our non-aluminum Corrugation (HO & N scales) including Corrugation. We spoke with some more folks interested in our business since the last Newsletter an

d there are still quite a few interested prospects (see investment opportunity below) despite the Pandemic. Our High School students who are now in face-2-face class rooms are enjoying being back at school. Our Georgia County (1 of 149 counties) has almost 180,000 Kindergarten through 12 grade students and mask wearing is required of all students plus faculty, administration, bus drivers, and maintenance staff. As we wrap up the second month of this school semester the Positive Test Rate for our county is 0.36% which is pretty good compared to the other 148 counties.
A list minute notice from our website hosting company is that tonight fro10PM September 16 EDT through 10AM September 17, 2021 our web sites(s) will probably experience access interruptions as they move our domains to a “new” server. You may need to refresh your browsers in the event you experience a service intruption.
That's it for today. We'll see you in the Hobby Room ... we'll be the once wearing masks with freshly washed hands!!

Got Weathering Questions?
We receive lots of weathering & finish questions every week and every so often we receive a question that i feel other modelers may be interested in reading:
"I have some of your black weathering solution/stain. I want to use it (or something more effective) to highlight the seams and gaps around the various panels and doors on a Galloping Goose model without leaving much residue on the main part of the panels."
REPLY: After stirring the Doctor Ben's product real well, use a spoon to move some of the Doctor B

en's into a small cup and add half as many spoons of Isopropyl Alcohol (70%) into the same cup and stir. The use a small round brush to pick up the mixture and aim the brush into the seams and gaps around the various panels and doors.
Wet a clean paper towel with the alcohol to wipe off any Doctor Ben's from where you don't want it. Allow it to dry and if it's not dark enough, repeat until you like what you see.
Pretty simple, huh? Send us some pics of the finish model we can post on our website! Got more questions? ASK!

the Rustic Stone & Frame Factory Kit HO & O Scales

Thomas A. Yorke Enterprises is now Scale Model Masterpieces

Currently, a "work in progress", this 1978 Thomas A. Yorke Ent kit (Now Scale Model Masterpieces) is receiving whole new (and some original) update. Most everything you see in the images as well as quite a bit of other stuff that you don't see as this update progresses. Keep checking back at our website Blog for the updates—we've got some great ideas planned!

All of the casting for this model are made from "original" Thomas A. Yorke molds/masters and cast in Labstone/Dental (Buff) for much more superior detail than casting made of Hydrocal© can produce.
The windows, doors, and some other details are Grandt Line product molded plastic. Doctor Ben's Roofing material is provided as well as the instruction for its application.
Each kit has updated instructions are to make construction more applicable to changes of materials and modeling techniques.

This brand new update includes detailed construction drawings (SEE adjacent THUMBNAILS), scale lumber, Precision Cut template & content sheets, barrels and boxes, outhouse/privy (pictured), weathering instructions, color photos, instruction booklet, and much more.

The original 1978 #O-9105 kit was originally produced in the produced by Thomas A Yorke and although there have been some variations, this craftsman kit includes the best aspects of previous versions..

And yes, Doctor Ben's Weathering would look good on the roof. At right is the Front Elevation view of this kit. Booklet Instruction include is a color photographs!

2021 PIEDMONT PILGRIMAGE is Coming Online!

This event is FREE to the public!

November is National Model Railroad Month! The Piedmont Division of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) celebrates November with a public "tour" of great model railroads in the Atlanta Area.

Open House Layout Tours Because of COVID-19 concerns last year, the 2020 Piedmont Pilgrimage was "virtual", with video-only layout tours. With the pandemic on the decline in our area earlier this year, and with changing CDC and local government guidelines for in-person gatherings, we are returning to at least some "open house" tours for 2021. We are also producing a limited number of new "virtual" (video-only) tours that will be available on this website.
