As you think, so will you be. Country: USA | Posts: 22280 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 07/02/2018 :  7:45:59 PM       Larry are you going to include some of these guns? Another 1918 picture.

If I started that project I have a feeling that Dave would want it to fire live rounds.

But that could just be me. Great job, Larry!

I see lots of reads so there is interest in the subject. I was able to acquire some scale lumber today. Next Car to build is: The prcess to build the car will be slow as I will make jigs to build a few of them. I will try to be patient and take pictures to describe the build process. I have been on a roll with this layout and really want to try not get distracted.

You got that right. OMG those open wagons look worse to ride in than a 40/8 car! Country: USA | Posts: 4817 Terrell Fireman Posted - 07/03/2018 :  10:25:46 AM     Larry, tonight at 9 on PBS, American Experience: the Great War. Country: | Posts: 1675 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/04/2018 :  5:07:48 PM     Tarrel. I missed the show so I will have to set the DVR to find it. I went for a different variant of the Wagon in my scratch build than the plans in my earlier posting. They are the same wagon just different sides. The Wagon is scratch built with wood, paper, tape, Grandt line NBW and Microscale rivet decals. The Bogies (trucks) are 3 d printed. This one passes the 3 foot test but not so much on close ups. I will be making a second attempt in plastic.

And you're doing a great job! Country: USA | Posts: 2967 jschumaker Fireman Posted - 07/04/2018 :  5:17:41 PM     Larry, Just found this thread. Fantastic work! What are the dimensions of the layout?

What are the dimensions of the layout? Jeff S. Jeff, Thank you. There is no layout yet. Some pitures are taken on my current layout hiding the gold rush structures. Some are on a five foot moduleIamepulding. The plan is to make this a traveiling exibit layout. It will be 15 to 20 feet long of exposed layout then staging areas. Carl B - Thanks.

Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A. Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 10765 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 07/07/2018 :  7:12:19 PM     Thanks Jerry, Time to move the track forward. I found a picture of a temporary bridge that appears to be made from ties. I made a core for the piers from a plastic outhouse wrapped in tape to get the required size. I finished 12 piers in a few hours. I know someone is going to comment why did I not stain the ties before building the structure so here is my reason. The bridge would have been built in the last six months with new fresh cut lumber. There would be very little staining, any I do will beat the water lever when I figure that out.
