Lots of wood, a nice brass K brake casting, some nice brass steps, and other "stuff". It's no wonder I can't find 1/2 of the parts and supplies I know I have - they're all spread out and inside the stack of project boxes!

I recently rediscovered some 'lost' wheelsets that I KNEW I had purchased, and I had - and then promptly divvied them out into the kits I thought I'd be using them in. No doubt I will, but in the mean time I had other plans for them so I ended up robbing Peter to pay Paul, even though I had given Peter the goods to begin with! Looking forward to see what this box of goodies becomes.

Basic underbody framing and train line installed Got the roof overhand ends are settled out as well. Bit of 4x6 card glued on top and individual boards glued underside of that - quite stiff and strong. Just trim to what's needed and done. Rough out the sides and ends next and maybe more on the underbody. Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.

But if you’re not careful you will be yelling “It’s alive!!” I have found that if I change the poles from plus to minus and from minus to plus that I am capable of bestowing animation upon lifeless matter.... Moving on......got the doors and windows set into the ends and sides all slightly modified, cut apart and reassembled and bits added here and there...

(Seems to me that by the 1880s, turnbuckles were pretty much standard practice.) dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8349 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 03/21/2019 :  2:17:26 PM     quote: Originally posted by deemery No turnbuckles on the truss rods? (Seems to me that by the 1880s, turnbuckles were pretty much standard practice.) Look again, Dave. They are there on each truss rod, Look for the familiar Tichy rust red color bits. The truss rods just are not up in place and so the turnbuckles are also not quite in place yet and are off center.
