I have built this two times. It is a fantastic kit and the photo on the box does not do it justice. The mechanism for raising/lowering the spout is really well done, as are the details of the wooden boards along the sides, the beams at the bottom (complete with bolt heads) and the roof. I used some scale ivy along the bottom to help it feel grounded in the layout (and because that leaking water is likely to cause some growth!). Real life railroads painted these (sometimes) in their line colors, so you can get creative with the coloring. The molding on the plastic really takes a wash well, so you can pull out all the details with some watered down black paint. GREAT kit!
