Large Scale Central

New feright depot for the O&NF RR

I am building a new freight shed for the O&NF RR. The grounded boxcar and small shed previously in use at Tomahawk have been moved to other parts of the property. (where they once were and looked better in that location).

The first pic shows the, almost completed, structure. It has yet to be painted and doors added to the front elevation. One or two other embellishments are still to be added.

Another pic when completed will be added. - I know you guys love pics. lol

I have added two more pics showing the completed structure. Grand opening tomorrow - weather permitting lol

Alan,

Not seeing your pictures. Do you have them in your Freight Shed? Need help getting them to show up here? Just call the picture up in your Freight Shed by clicking on it, highlight the address of it at the top of the screen and with “copy and paste” add it to what you are posting here.

Good luck on your Grand Opening.

Many thanks Ric. I now know how to post pics here. I post elsewhere but this place is a great one for construction inspirations. My next project, if I can decide where on the property it can be sited could be a grain elevator although having some fourteen coal hoppers a small scale coal facility might be worth consideration.

I also have this pic in the Shed. It is, as all will see, a Big Hauler J&S car. I have three painted in a form of MILW road colors. and lettered for my fictitious RR.

Alan,

Good looking building, thanks for sharing. Your pictures came out fine.

looks good Alan

Thanks indeed Rick and Dave. The pics are not of high quality as all my pics - including those on my Picasa page - are taken with a cell 'phone.

I hardly use it as a 'phone.

Funny, I never use the camera on my phone :wink:

That’s a pretty good size depot. Is it going to get a siding ?

I don't even know how?

Thanks for the pics Alan! Looks good!

Unfortunately the big celebration scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled - it was poor weather. The band was sent to a local beanery and then went home. Yesterday was a summer type day. These are pics of the new depot in its permanent home and one shows it already in business. Since the pic was taken I have extended the siding by a few inches - rock prevents any further addition - which will allow three 40ft. cars to be at the depot and not foul the tunnel line.
