I always thought Sharon built everything on "Jacks" layout. John

It is good to hear the kit is still going strong. I received mine a couple
years back from the original NASG promotion. My structure is basicly completed
now. It also has a scratchbuilt back end and space for boxcars and reefers to
be brought in. By doing this, we added it to the Northern Ohio 'S' Scalers 45'
portible layout and can also put it on my layout when we are not displaying the
Mods. The guys added footers on one end module to hold the building in place,
track, and a parking lot for trucks out front.
I got some photos from John Henning and created a new folder with three
photos so far. NOSS - Citrus Shed is the album.

I hope the link works.
I'll see if I can get John to take a few more photos of the building and the
footers when we set them up next. Which right now is our September meeting for
our club to host our fourth annual InterState Get-Together.

rolling on this project only because he wanted the kit for his own use. In
order for Joe Warren, Showcase Miniatures, to up-scale his original HO kit to
S, he told John he had to have a minimum of 50 orders. John began soliciting
orders, but he fell short. John then petitioned the NASG BOT to help with
underwriting this project. The BOT drew up a contract with Joe that guaranted
the 50-kit minimum knowing full well that 22 of the kits were already spoken
for. While all initial orders were honored, the remainer of the kits at a
slight discount were offered by the BOT to NASG members only. All 50 kits were
sold and the project was turned back over to Joe Warren for his further
promotion/sales through Showcase Miniatures. As witnessed within the past few
days herein, the kit remains in good favor with the S-Heads.

appeared in the "Dispatch" later that year. If you are an NASG member you can
see the model in its "raw" and/or enhanced iterations by digging out your past
"Dispatch" issues. Just yet another reason for belonging to and supporting NASG.
