Well I needed some out houses for my buildings. I did a prototype and this is what I come up with. The paint is still wet. What do you think? I’m going to make a 2 whole’er, and one with the door open. Well no one on the thrown with the door open.

If you are wondering why I do a lot of Popsicle stick buildings?
Well it’s because I have thousands of these things of various sizes.

David; A hobby acquaintence gave this to me when he moved up from large scale to 1 1/2 inch scale. I made the door and added some embellishments to the interior. The basic outhouse is basswood framing and coffee stir sticks for siding. THEN I needed an “accomodation car” for my Tappa Kegga Day fraturnity’s beer party car.

It makes a fun little car, but it is kind of fragile since the coffee stir sticks have a fairly thin cross section. Best, David Meashey

Just an added detail, in case anybody wants to include it. When I helped out at the Wanamaker, Kempton & Southern RR, a small PA tourist line, we still used outhouses. The men’s outhouse had a trough to use as a urinal. It was very basic, just a short section of galvanized roof gutter (nailed to the studs) with galvanized downspout running into the floor. This was so long ago that I would guess that it stood about 30 inches above the floor, but I no longer am sure of that dimension. Also the trough sloped from about 30 inches to 26 inches on the downspout end, and the trough was maybe 18 inches long.
As to the reason I know it was only in the men’s outhouse, part of the preparations while raising steam (and before the paying customers arrived) included taking a shovel of lime into each outhouse to dump down the hole for “ambiance abatement” purposes.
Yours,
David Meashey
