Dave, Think there may have been a problem. After your reply, I went back and noticed I had not opened the album to everyone. Learn something new daily.

Dave

Not sure what you are talking about. To my knowledge, which is very little in the computer world, I posted this latest set of pictures the same as the first set. Should open by clicking on the underllined word "pictures".

If others are have a problem opening my pictures let me know and maybe suggest a solution.

Thanks Jim. Still plan to post some pics of the tower construction. Seems every nice day, the CFO beats me to the camera to go along on a hike. Also working on a Jail house to go along side.

Great building!  I like the idea of the wrist watch.  I am a couple months from retiring and I was going to have a little ceremony getting rid of my wrist watch (cheap anyway) but this is a great idea.  Now, to think of a use for my company computer desk...  It gets replaced by a recliner in my home/office.

Thanks Dave for providing info on opening the pictures. Hopefully next week the weather will clear around here and I'll get some photos of how I built the clock tower to allow for replacing batteries when required.

Nice work! 

I've been planning to use a wristwatch that way on my layout one of these days, just haven't come up with the right building for it yet.

Nice.

jhsimpson62

the clock in the tower is a actual wrist watch

That's a good idea!

Courthouse
Posted by jhsimpson62 on Thursday, January 19, 2012 12:54 PM

I have just finished building a Courthouse for the downtown area of my layout. Sorry, but I didn't get any pictures of the construction. Just used basic construction procedures. One feature is that the clock in the tower is a actual wrist watch that really works. Built is such a way that it is accessable to change the battery when required. So far it has survived two down pours of over an inch and a half each.
