Well taverns wasn’t the cleanest business back in the days, the spittoons was mostly used as a bathroom. There are few bars that still have it ( not in use) and the pipe, most people think it is a foot rest, was to flush it. Old building history is absolutely beautiful.

Wow, just amazing! I’m 58 years old now and as a boy we lived in Dunsmuir, CA for 4 years and the downtown area next to the SP yard is all classic America style buildings from the 20’s-40’s, I remember one building next to the tracks that was an old movie theater but they modified the front section into a record shop and the rear area had an apartment but the roof and floor in between was removed and there was a small stream running diagonally through what would be the seating area. As a 8 year old kid it was like a hidden forest since they had a couple small trees and manzanita shrubs around the stream and it was all kind of magical to me. Not much has changed since 1973 which is nice to me, even the old house we lived in next to the Travelodge is still there, those were tough times until we moved north into Klamath Falls since dad worked for SP. Those interiors in your buildings are perfect. Back in the 70’s most shops recycled older signs and displays so if you choose to do some bashing, you can use any old sign and put a new name on it but people will immediately recognize the shape and profile of the sign which is what I remember. Things were VeRY tight back in those days, as a white kid, I know what it’s like to have NOTHING in the kitchen to eat so I wish I had some of that white privilege people talk about these days, without the school lunch program things would’ve been worse, lol.

I went by it a lot when I was younger, while rail fanning around CUT and also every day that I worked when I joined the railroad, starting with Conrail. I retired last April after a nice career and now I can start building my new layout. An excellent video, as always.

Just a note, I notice you dumping raw resin in the trash, all of the resin should be UV cured before disposal as it is toxic to aquatic life. It doesn't have to go in a cure booth, you can just set everything in the sun for several hours and it should all cure and be safe to throw away. The model looks great though!

I'm glad that you filmed some of the 3D modeling process. I couldn't help wondering about the base printer's plate when you remove the finished print. I've read about plates becoming damaged. Is that damage because the print sticks too hard to the plate? It appeared that the removal process was a bit difficult. Just curious.
