A New Privy at Tremont and a question.
Number One made an unscheduled stop at the Tremont logging camp. The brake rope in LRRR Combine #310 was pulled.
The kids thought the city folk wanted to buy some local produce for their vacationing time at the Wonderland Hotel.
Turns out Mr. Lajan, the drummer from over in Knoxville, had a bad case of spastic colon and that fried Mountain Trout from lunch is causing all kinds of lower GI distress.
Will the axe-toting loggers waiting in line at the outhouse yield to this very desperate flat lander??
Hope you all liked the pictures I built of this little privy from insulating foam and stained and treated (Thompson’s water seal) craft sticks. I used Titebond III water proof glue and put on metal roof on top.
I have plans to build a commissary and eventually a saw mill with this type construction technique. This is the first “test case” and I figure if this goes to squat exposed to the elements ………no great loss.
I was wondering if you all have had real world experience with foam core and wood sheathed buildings and what your thoughts are on this???
Thanks Doc Tom
looks good

Greetings Doc Tom.
I was pleased to see another post, here on this Forum, showing yet another delightful cameo shot of the goings on to be seen on the Little River Railroad. I must admit to finding the placement and action of the figures more appealing than the structure I guess your regular observance of humankind gives you the creative ideas.. By the way last year a family of black bears set up residence above a tunnel portal on my O&NF RR; I wonder if they are relayed to the family on the Little River RY?

Glad you liked the scene on the Little River RR up in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. I'll bet those are the same Black Bears that have terrorized the road crews above Tremont.
Thanks for looking.

So time ago GR had an article on using 4x4 and other scraps as cores for buildings. they add some weight to the smaller structures .

4x4 thats a great idea if you dont have to show the interior and i like the weight idea.that was my only question with the foam core another good idea.
When I read about the evils of drinking I quit reading.
also like to ask Doc tom how you make your door hinges?
I have a Bachmann 1:22.5 boxcar which, minus its trucks, is sited as a store in one of my small yards.
Anyone who has these cars will know how light in weight they are. We get some very strong winds here (F9+ Beaufort scale) which has meant that the boxcar has been blows away from its correct site.
The roof is easily removed and small pieces of house brick provide sufficient weight to enable the boxcar to stay firm upon the ground.
Hi Grims,
I wish I could say I was talented enough to make those little hinges. But, alas, I am not. I bought them from Micro-Mark......reasonably priced too.
Also to prevent the little outhouse from blowing away it is anchored with stakes formed from wire and pushed in to the gound.
great i have purchased from micro mark didnt think to look there
