Sweet! The Valspar color I used was Hubbel House Golden Maize.....or basically straw
Hubble House? That's a restaurant chain down south. Must be the color they use on their signs..........;)

Ken, the Depot looks great. Is that snow outside? Ralph
Nah, it was 70 degrees out, a little cloudy and breezy, but nice.............;)
Ahhhhhh............I guess the sun washed out the background. You had much nicer weather than we did. Ralph

It’s looking good

Very nice Ken. What do you use to weight it down? I want to try using the signs but afraid of being too light.

Well, it's supposed to deteriorate today, chillier and possible rain, back into the forties by the end of the week............can't complain though, for the end of November it's been nice for the last week........

On this one, the 1" bracing on the inside makes it a bit heavier. On the Delores Depot I ended up screwing it down to the platform and putting a rock inside it to hold it down. It survived the hurricane with no problems and where it sits it's almost like a wind tunnel there.

I’ll probably do that with this one, too, but it’ll sit in a more protected area.

Have Jon get ya a bunch and try it out, there’s always ways to weight it down.

Hey Ken,

The station is “AWESOME” looking. I need to go round up some old election signs.


Real estate signs, Chuck.
I’d wait until after dark…:slight_smile:

Local grocery and conveinence stores too…

Is it done yet?
:wink:

Don’t forget a Bordello…every town worth it’s sods, needs one…!!
If you have a church, you need a Bordello…

Hmmm... I've got a church I wasn't planning on using. Maybe I'll make it a bordello in an abandoned church :D

Great looking depot Ken!

When are you coming out this way again? You can enjoy our gentle mists and quiet breezes here this time of year. :wink:

The bordello is located in Hesperus. They’ll have to take the train to get there.

Hard to say Richard, when we’ll get back out there. The son was just here in Oct. for one of his buddy’s wedding. Besides, getting sexually molested just to sit in a plane isn’t my idea of fun…:wink:

You could always take the train. I hear they are still running. :smiley:

Great song!

Ken, That’s an idea! You could ride your motorcycle!

Road trip!

I’ve been by that church several times. It’s right next to the tracks on my train chasing route up North. It’s now the Gutrhrie Center and Arlo plays there from time-to-time.

Further progress… Got the windows and doors painted.

and some of the veneer on the front and the freight end…

It was a lot easier painting the windows and doors before I put the siding on.

Nifty. Pearce needs a station, bring that over next Sept.

Sure thing…
