Another structure class?
Posted by toenailridgesl on Thursday, November 3, 2005 4:21 AM
Gentlemen,
I have a desire to build this:

for the Toenail Ridge Shortline.
Any interest in another step-by-step construction class?
If yes, reply here & send $$$$ to the attached address.... :)
...if not, take thy Exacto knife & place it where the sun does not shine! (Which, incidentally, is 14.3 miles SSW of Fairbanks, Alaska.)

John,
Korflute? Nope, this time real wood including full interior framing
Plan bash class lack of interest?
Yup.
Polite reminder drawings?
OK, so I'm slack! :) Although I reckon you are now skilled enough to roll your own using GR plans modified.
BTW, I have excellent plans for the Clematis (Puffing Billy) station, (very outback Oz ) & also have some ideal REAL metal corrugated iron in the right size....you want me to build it for you?.......=$$$$$$ :):):)

Hi Phil
Clematis[^][bow][bow][bow] Ive been looking for drawings that for a while
Please contact me off forum re Tech stuff and suitable arrangements Red, White or whatever
Have you got the Clematis, track and camp coach plan as well that could be pushing it a bit though.
Plans I was thinking of the SAR Fish Brake you where re drawing for me as an 8' wide
narrow gauge job and the Tech advice required re the differences from a standard caboose
regards John

Vic,
You know that's already pretty thin you may be able to model that one complete and still have room for it on your layout.

Phil,
I'd be interested in following along to see how you go about making this structure.

Hi phil
Sorry to be a pain in the[censored] and side track things a bit
Have lost the roof off a station any chance of getting some corrugated iron
So I can make a new roof for it.
one side is 9.5cm X 20cm the other 14cm X 20cm
Also have you got a picture of a typical country SAR US style station.
Any bright ideas where to get a suitable slightly oversize for "G" train order board or would you recomend making the order board
regards John
