I really appreciate all the nice compliments!
Frank, At one time I had the pro version, was lost when my computer crashed. Lost everything.
Bernd, Following your thread! See bottom photo.
I finally received my lumber from Northwest! Eight days from order to door for those interested in ship time. Packed nicely with lots of peanut packaging.
All wall plans are finished so I'll start with the short end wall. Something easy and hopeful for a quick build. I modified all the plans, made many changes trying to get a balanced look. I also doubled up the bottom of the window openings to burn more lumber. Actually to give a more prototype look. As a former trim carpenter I was always adding nailers that framers seem to forget about.
During the last week I also modified a Bachmann Cattle car, cut off the walls and roof, shortened to about 19'. Adding a hunkered down Bachmann frame my son-in-law gave me for Christmas. Added stake pockets (wiseman)/ posts. It's close to paint. Figured I'd share.
Bernd, I want you to see the resemblance! I may have to go vertical.
I'll try to post progress soon! Thanks again!
Philip
