New Engine House for the KMRR

Thanks Dennis. We get the cold temps but its very rare for my area to get above 90. Cant wait to see your engine house. Make sure you start a build thread.

Inspired by Jake’s Grist Mill and your Engine House I’ve started on up-scaling a bird house that’s been laying around. I plan to use it as a whistle stop station. I’ve got the foundation backer built and am ready to attach the stones. I really like the Loctite adhesives and was going to run out for a tube of PowerGrab today to apply the blocks. I have Plumber’s Goop in stock and I think Marilyn has regular Goop. Maybe I should save the gas.

I’ve been taking pictures as I go. As soon as it’s to a point where you might be able to tell what it will be I’ll post some shots.

Cant wait to see the pictures. I really like the stone and I plan on making a few walls for along the track. Not until the ground thaws out though.

Wow, thanks for the compliment. I’m just about done. I used E6000 on some parts of the building. I’ve never used it before so we shall see.

I’ve used E6000 to attach wood planking to a plexiglass shell when I built my barn a few years back. So far, so good. I’ve also used it on some smaller detail parts as well without any major problems. I live in Buffalo, NY so the temps don’t get past 90 very often (not often enough in my opinion!!). Your mileage may vary.
