Railway design, construction, and gardening

Now that the growing season has come to a close and the CFO's projects are finished for the summer, I have reopened the construction arm of the Seneca & Chetola Line. First new structure for the year will be an Ore Tipple to be located at the mine and new spur line. Here are the first pictures of the process. More will follow as construction continues. Jack

Have completed construction of an Ore Tipple and placed it in the garden. Now that it is in place, I can get the measurements to complete the trestle coming from the mine. Trestle plans are from Garden texture and enlarged to 1:20.3. Biggest challenge was getting the stain on it. Here are some pictures. Jack

Just about finished with the Ore Tipple project. I am waiting for pullies and chain to arrive (hopefully today or tomorrow). To make room on the work bench, I've planted it in the train lot and will attach the hardware in place. The latest pictures are found here. Jack

Should you ever tire of looking at that beauty ugly monstrosity, UPS and FedEx both know where my front door is located! 

Tom,  We should both live that long!  Jack
