Nice job on pretty much everything bossman, drawings, designs, wood staining, assembly & hell even the pictures. Good Job! You go girl... Thanx Thom... Country: USA | Posts: 519 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 09/09/2017 :  09:16:14 AM       Tony, I really like your plans with the different window sizes and the overall proportions. Great start on construction.

Thank you Mike, it is the variety I like too. When I was at the Convention in Denver, I bought all the stripwood available in the 2x8 and 2x10 sizes, and three packs of 24" long 1/16 square stripwood for this project. Actually, the 1/16" is from a 'multi scale' 4x4 in S or 3x3 in O scale. So I have almost 2 walls done now, and am starting the second bag of 1/16 stripwood (7 strips per bag, 24" long), so far, that's 16 feet of 1/16 stripwood used. Hard to believe. Not sure I will have enough, so I made a large order from Fast Tracks, who is now selling Mt. Albert lumber. Had to buy it in their large lots selection, 16" long. Hope I have enough now And plenty for the future.

I've largely moved to the 24" lengths and sometimes order in bulk.

I've largely moved to the 24" lengths and sometimes order in bulk. Mike It's certainly the cheaper way to go. The packets of stripwood cost substantially more. Unless you only need a few of one size. In my case, Mt Albert, or Fast Tracks, now, didn't have anything else available for the size I needed, except in bulk. At least not right now.

Next on the list is siding.

I have always admired the beautiful work that both female and male scratch build modelers achieve. ed Country: USA | Posts: 1091 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 09/10/2017 :  7:40:43 PM     Tony, You have another nice one started. George Country: USA | Posts: 14783 Nelson458 Fireman Posted - 09/10/2017 :  8:16:59 PM       Oh, Ed, you are so funny Thanks George. Appreciate that.

I realize you showed your sketch on a previous post, but without going back to check, what is the building footprint? I tend to construct small structures so that I don't have to add a tremendous amount of details. You have enough room for a number of trains! The roof will be a bugger to do on this building! Are you planning on making part of it removable? Looking good so far.

I plan on a removable roof, and lighting, which is something I don't do often. LED's are my new choice for lights. I also plan on as much interior detail as I can muster. I wanted the depth deep enough to house at lease a 4-6-2, and the middle bay for smaller engines. The left bay will have an open door in the rear, whereas the smallest offset one on the right would be for repairing freight cars. There will be an extra track on the outside near the car barn side.

This should be a treat to watch unfold. Your builds always have unique details. Thanks for sharing your skills.

It looks great from my perspective. Perhaps a little unstable at this point.
