Wire for 12v lights on the primed caboose, inside and markers.
Hi ToadFrog & White Lightning
I rather like the Band Stand??, Gazeebo?? where did you find the plan
regards John Busby
John,
Really there is no plan. I was a bird feeder I found at Hobby Lobby.
Took the center out and cut the rope and that is what you see now. Needs more thou to it like shingles and caping some holes. Cut one side or both and place stares on it to walk up on.
But yeah it is about G gauge! I guess I could make plans with what it's scale is on if need be!
LGB figure by it.
LOOKING GOOD

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
Vic going to use Thompsons water seal on all. Dunk for about 24 hours each in bucket. Even the stained ones!!! Just don't trust any wood out side to the weather day in and day out because it takes "US" to long to build or get money to buy a product (bird feeder 7.99) to just rot.
I could use the plastic sign boards more cause I have abunch of them from my landscaping biz and I will use when I get going on the Station and other projects.
Toad,
Great job! I use Thompson waterseal on ties, structures and my deck. Stains are definitely the way to go
Stain wash...came out nice I think?!
Track pick up for lightn gettn underway.....

The GIRLS are here with me and my boyz......The Toad!
Remembr to paint or stain first, THEN seal. I used Thompson's on a cedar swing set and then tried varnishing it later. The varnish peeled of in less than a year. I tried solvents, power washing, etc but could never get the sealer out of the wood and therefore could never get a decent topcoat on the wood.
Update:
Noticed this thing could be used as a well.
