Brent's table
« on: March 02, 2024, 02:10:51 pm »
Too lazy to actually put something on a table, but here's what I showed off at Cabin Fever this year for those who haven't already seen it. Took a year of my life to restore and reconstruct this thing:

Nice extensive restoration Brent; I missed seeing your masterpiece at Cabin Fever this year; I couldn’t make it.

I thank you for your Herculean efforts on that restoration project, as otherwise I'd likely have never gotten to see such a masterpiece!

You can't ever post it to many times!

A masterful restoration (and the smaller one next to it is pretty darn good too.

I am grateful to have been able to visit you several times while it was a work in progress.

Brent,

I hadn't seen this before.  Thank you for sharing this, and for all of the work you put into the restoration.  The video was outstanding and very well produced both visually, and audibly.

Thanks again!

This Marklin factory is on my short list as one of the rarest & most interesting steam items I've ever had the honor to see, thanks for bringing it back for us to view one more time Brent.
