Lookin' good.  I'll be waiting a bit to see what other prime pieces come out of that floor-print.  I think one or two of these would essentially finish off my town (after a livery and train station...of course).

Update:

4Ground posted up on Facebook the other day their new livery - nothing particularly special, as liveries go...and of course the corner building which debuted a short while ago.  When I mentioned a bank and train station on their FB page they told me to be patient until April - apparently some more releases at/around Salute 2014.



^Corner building Rogan's Bar




8"x11" footprint not including the side walkways, so a pretty large building.  I'll be picking one up at some point (planning to do one final big 4Ground order and then be done collecting Old West stuff for a while...maybe my tax return!

Im hoping the bank will be a brick structure, something about wooden banks doesn't quite sit right with me

I'm quite sure it'll be brick or stone (given that their Jailhouses are of stone/brick construction).  I'm more hoping for a train station to encourage me to finish my damn train though...

You don't need to buy more things for that elbows.

Finish Your Damn Train!  >:D lol

That's a big stable - a little too big.
Cheers

Oi!  What's a train with no station!?  I actually did start making some of my own tracks the other day...I'm going to consider re-doing the cars I had done...not sure.  Got some other projects starting up.

I will get Rogans Bar soon but that stable is a very large building, I've already gone with the TriCity stable which I am happy with.

Yep, it's definitely a biggun (the one thing which gave me a bit of pause).  I'm actually still considering going with the Rorkes Drift set instead (particularly if the price is close).  I was going to do a large ranch setting, and figured they'd be just the thing (just use slatted or shingled roof instead of teddy-bear fur.  I'll need to see the price on the livery for sure.  Also, I'd like to see if you can access the top which would be nice.

EDIT: Well there ya go...

So, at least you can access the upper storage area (and I like the working crane/door up top).  Shall have to do some deciding I suppose.

A livery stable is one of those iconic buildings - they were ubiquitous, and they appear in so many films - with all sorts of things happening in and around them from gunfights to lovers' trysts - that I don't think I could resist having one somewhere in my set-up. Yes, it's large, but it's probably the nicest I've seen yet from the MDF manufacturers. I pre-ordered one almost the minute I saw that I could.

Actually I think I like the look of the Sarissa Livery Stable better. It takes a little more work to bring up to the standard of the 4Ground kits I'm not sure the double wall construction is really necessary in this building.

I've got the Sarissa one for my town as well, I'm a bit keener on the shape overall.
