Such a deal…who could pass that one up…:wink:

#42

Looks like it’s pretty close to getting outside, Ken. What’s left?

It sure looked nice when I saw it up at Dave’s.

#43

I have an order for rail from C&OC RR that I’m waiting on for the ring rail. Stretch informed it was backordered but is now on it’s way. Once I get that installed, and some gravel on the pit floor it’ll be ready to set in place on the RR. I may have to do some tweaking on it, but other than that is mostly complete. Once that’s done I can finish the yard area.

Most of the track in this area is temporary till the TT is placed. Then I can re-arrange the track to fit around it.

#44

I knew I had a picture of it.

Yea, I set it there to give Dave some inspiration…looks good there in front of his roundhouse.

#46

Finally got it in the ground…

That looks great! How will you handle drainage in the pit?

#48

Mike , there’s about 6" of stone under the pit and there’s a drain pipe for the downspout about a foot away. It’s not apparent in the photo’s but the stone extends to the drain.

#49

Wow! That sure looks nice, Ken. Did you put any sealer on the gallows?

#50

Not yet, Bruce. Still deciding if I want to stain it to a darker color.

#51

Voila! Track work is in place and the Turntable works great!

Very nicely done Ken.

#53

Sure looks nice. Well done. Like that coaling tower, too.

#54

Ken,

You humble me with your work. The whole area of the turntable fits right in with your work on the Gallows. Thanks for sharing.

#55

WOW! Inspiration!

How do you index the TT?

#56

Great job Ken :smiley: :smiley:

#57

Are you planning on an operating session up there? :smiley:

#58

That is some effort, Ken!
