The last two weekends I put together a Berkshire Valley Models water tank kit.
I've been working over the last six months to improve and update Deer Creek on my layout. I've rebuilt the area so many times over the last decade that I have lost count. I'll update those efforts in the future.
The kit came together rapidly and easily. I did have to review the instructions a few times to make sure I was using the right part at the time. Biggest issue was warping of the columns on the tank when I applied stain. The columns have end grain up their length and warped severely. I used low viscosity CA glue on the end grain while holding it up against a steel ruler to get them straight again. Kind of a pain, would not be a problem if you painted the tank. Here's the results.
