Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9157 Ensign Engineer Posted - 03/10/2021 :  4:15:18 PM     Here's a fun little photo, showing a diesel switcher parked in what looks like a completed shop with floor. I took that photo by placing the shop on my Magoun pier module. Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9157 Orionvp17 Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/10/2021 :  5:06:48 PM     Very nicely done, Greg! Like!

Joe Country: Canada | Posts: 489 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/10/2021 :  10:42:03 PM     Beautiful work Greg. I know there is still plenty to go, but you sure do work fast. The lighting is impressive as always on your builds. Those trusses must have been fiddly to install while having to deal with the wiring as well. Nice job. Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2951 Guff Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/11/2021 :  09:48:00 AM       Greg, You are most definitely one of our master craftsmen!! Love your work!! David Guffey Country: USA | Posts: 2142 Ensign Engineer Posted - 03/11/2021 :  09:58:06 AM     Joe, Rob & Dave, it's really nice to read your comments! Thank you for your very kind thoughts, and for taking the time to post them! Greg Country: Canada | Posts: 9157 Ensign Engineer Posted - 03/12/2021 :  7:43:23 PM     Hi everyone, well it's time for another update! This time working on the overhead traveling crane and it's support system within the shop. I began by cutting these .100 H columns using the template provided for them. I decided to paint all of my support system components silver using the black on the bottom as I did with the 8 x 8 posts. These H columns are glued in place on top of certain 8 x 8 posts already installed along the 2 sidewalls. As shown on one of the illustration cards. I did one side at a time. On top of these H columns will rest a .156 styrene girder with .060 angles glued on top for each sidewall. These were all to be installed before the trusses went into place, however because of the lighting I wanted to install into this shop I had to work around them from the bottom of this shop. Here's the .156 girder and .060 angle installed on top of the H columns. I then located all of the metal castings needed to build the moving parts of the travelling crane. Shown here below.( I missed including one more motor not shown in this photo.) The hoist carriage builds into something that ends up looking like this. The travelling frame section uses .032 wire and 2 pieces of .1881 styrene beams and also the .060 angle styrene glue on top of those beams. It ends up looking like this when completed. Here they are now joined together. I then carefully installed them onto the support system inside the shop that I built. That's all I have for now. Thanks for looking!

You da man! David A Maine Expatriate living in the valley of Northern California - Modeling in HO. David Stickney Country: USA | Posts: 494 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 03/12/2021 :  9:03:44 PM       Greg, Absolutely fantastic! The problem I see is that a lot of the details will be obscured by the roof. The lights will help. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7475 Ensign Engineer Posted - 03/12/2021 :  9:13:39 PM     David, I did all of those things that you mentioned, except scratch the bald head part. My hair is now the longest it's ever been in my life! I call it my crazy COVID-19 hairdo! Once the warm weather comes, I have so much to do outside this year, that's my biggest motivation to get this kit built! Thanks for your post!

The lower parts of the roof below the clerestory windows are designed to be removable, but your right about part of the roof obscuring one's view of the interior.
