" I can now get back to building a two stall engine house for the K&S "

" Laying out window opening's on the side walls, windows on order.

Lucky I had 3 windows on hand for layout and fitting "

Hi

Ken

Thanks for sending me your 'K&S' plan book PDF.

The engine house was one of my favourite drawings.

Just how the doors should look on a future M.M.M.M.M.& M.Co. one !

All the cribbing, culvert & trestle drawings were cool to see as well.

I hope you don't run out of coffee-stirrers ! :java:

Si.

Managed to build a couple of the culverts shown in the plans. :2t:

Not likely to run out of stir sticks any time soon 4000-5000 on hand,

plus skewers to model cribbing as shown in the plan book.

:us:

If I build the engine house, need to stock up on Evergreen drop siding,

I know I do not have enough on hand.

Still short a few windows,

for the engine house I am currently working on, :bang:

more then enough on hand to finish the visible sides. :2t:

:shocked:

Ken

Sounds like you could open a coffee bar ! :java:

The culvert building, I'm sure will look great on the layout ...

... a sometimes under-modelled feature. :us:

Si.

Downside of modelling the culverts,

you can make 3 or 4 in an evening,

then the hard part is figuring out where to use them.

:bang:

Need to sort out water drainage to plan installation.

Engine house on hold waiting for parts (hinges),

will Post a few photos soon of the build.

I need to make up 3 sets of doors, 2 for the engine house,

with the third for the shop addition, if I add it.

:us:

No good photos of the engine house have shown up,

so I will make the best of the shop addition.

It was built of rough lumber,

versus the drop siding used on the engine house.

Mind you I do have a few stir sticks to use up. :moose:

Hi

Ken

After you've opened the NEW 'Kens Coffee Caf.' ... :java:

... you'll still have enough stir-siding, for the entire 'K.& S.Rly.' ! :shocked:

Probably do 250,000 1/4 Mil. shingles EASY ... :mex:

... could start a 'run' on Chopper S.S.R.B.s in Canada !

The blackmarket price would ROCKET ! ...

... with beards the latest Canadian fashion this summer !!

Si.

I'm still making my way to doomsday I see ... :mex:

... with mules & sweaty-DYNAMITE cases, on your scenery !

Si.

Been going through my collection of trestle plans,

which would use up a bunch of the stir sticks.

Or do I build a steel trestle,

and use up my Central Valley stockpile ?

It would mean removing a bench section,

and building a new one, to give the trestle some depth.

:bang:

Have a couple of plans for logging railway trestles,

either too long or too high.

The section would be between Norquinco bridge,

and the current yard under construction.

Hopefully I will complete a running loop,

within the month.

:us:
