Great shots; thanks for posting them. Patty’s “Yeah, right…” expression in the second photo is worth a million bucks!
Oh, oh, Richard! Now that we all know what you look like, you’re gonna have a lot of ‘splainin’ to do to the folks that run the witness protection program. 
Rick, thanks for the pictures.
Richard, some of Rick’s photos show scenes and things I don’t recall–a station? Some cribbing? And what’s up with the caboose? Can we see more of it?

You missed a lot then Joe. 
Here’s the latest caboose and that was awhile ago.[/b]

Oops! Looks like the photos disappeared again! Sorry.
Okay, we’ll try the Port Orford depot.

That is one fine depot, Richard! And another example of your superb handiwork. I especially like the overhanging roof. Nice.
I’m bummed about missing out on your caboose shots, as I have a thing for sidedoor cabooseseses. I believe I even inspired Kevin Strong to build a caboose using a Bachmann or Aristo flatcar as a base, when I mentioned that I was hoping to do so. Anyway, I have the 1:20.3 flatcar and the proper Plastruct siding but have made zero progress on this project. However, there may be light at the end of the tunnel, because I’m planning a visit to the California State Railroad Museum in Sacto, where my favorite sidedoor caboose prototype exists (I believe it’s Pacific Coast Railway number 2 or 3). I have the plans for that car from a Gazette article and hope I can shoot a bunch of detail shots of other stuff–like how the end platforms are attached to the basic underframe. BTW, we don’t generally wander that far out of LA, but we gotta go to a wedding in Auburn, so a side trip to Sacramento seemed like a natural.
Whew! All tuckered out now. Time for a nap.
Joe, I don’t know why the photos of the caboose disappeared in that post but these are still in my files here on LSC so let’s try a couple.

Aah, now yer talkin.’ That’s mighty fine work, Richard. And just what I wanted to see. I think I know what you mean by “blind-end.” Maybe I should rethink my plan and go with that idea, versus building end platforms and such. BTW, when I bought my flatcar (from Electric and Steam Model Works or whatever) I measured the car and found the end-to-end length to be almost exactly right–but I forget what that measurement is and I don’t have the car with me. However, I am working on a project–a small cabin based upon plans from an old MR article. It’s styrene, of course. I’m cutting in the window frames and sash and making the window muntins, which is about all the stuff I chose to bring along in our carry-on. The roof, floor and the raised platform the cabin sits on–on the side of a hill–are back in LA.
