It's about time to install these shanties on the layout. The first task for crews is to clear the sites, first at Elfrida:
![]() ...then at Lowbanks: ![]() The Grand Valley work gang, taking advantage of the latest mechanised methods, make short work of their site at South Cayuga: ![]() ...and in no time, the shanty is in place and landscaped: ![]() With time to spare, the crew also installs an outhouse, just across the road, for the crossing tender's convenience: ![]() Back at Elfrida, the building plot has been cleared... ![]() ...and the shanty erected: ![]() At Lowbanks, the crew already has the structure in place: ![]() Looks like it's still wet from the landscaping work, too: ![]() I'll add some more details at a future date, as the buildings are supposed to be removeable from their bases.

Very nice, DocWayne. Love the shot of the "mechanical advantage"!

My LPP's get nervous when they see large hammers, assorted knives and tools laying around. Glad to see your little folk have become comfortable working with the heavy equipment although the com-padre there in the tan pants might want to get out of the way.

I guess the yellow handrails aren't so bad, now that I see the structure in place.
![]() Nice work, as usual, Wayne! Galen
I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!

Thanks, Galen. As you can see, the ones with the handrails are in fairly close quarters, so I thought a safety device was appropriate, even in the '30s.
![]() Other folks injured while working for the railroad often lost their jobs, though, leaving them with little alternative but to become drivers and passengers in vehicles scattered about the layout. ![]() ![]() ![]() Willoughby! Next stop Willoughby! ![]() Wayne

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve. Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself! |
