Warm weather brought the carpenters out:

Okay, I have to ask because I have issues in my head…

How come you didn’t level the cement block in the lower right corner of this picture?

I didn’t level any of them cause I didn’t want to disturb the ground under them. And that 2x4 in the front had such a twist in it I had to use a come-along to straighten it and get it fastened to the 4x4’s.

Everyone’s invited that wants to stop by after the train show. Hollywood’s already been here and took some pictures. Ask him if you can see them…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Great looking Ken. Love it.

Thanks, Randy. This nice weather has helped a lot…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Ken, it has.

Nice - and if you can get your old arse down on the ground the buildings across the field will scale out pretty good in photos…

How the heck did you get the tractor out after closing the loop?

John - I bet he just left it inside so he can cut the grass in the middle of the loop and bought a new one for outside the loop…

:slight_smile:

Scott

That loop hasn’t been completely looped yet. So he could still drive the tractor out. Or, maybe, its done as a tractor and its now just a lawn ornament.

Damn, Jon, I never thought of that…(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif)

Actually I did,

The other end has a lift out bridge.

I had thought about doing the same thing on this end, but it looked to be too much trouble than it was worth, so it’ll just have to enter the one end.

Scott, you’re not far from the truth. I ain’t sure how much longer that tractor is gonna last.
