Hey! What's going on around here? Nobody got the greatest thread of the week going! I want to see what you have been doing, so get busy and do some posting! OK, I'll start even though it is a few days late getting started...
Finally got to spend some quality time down in the train rooms on the SLOW. Been trying to a handle on a scratch built octagon blacksmith's shop I am trying to both figure out how to do it and get it reasonably looking like the prototype. Original was built in 1832 in Alloway, NY from local cobblestone. It is still standing and being used for storage by a local farmer. My version should be something like it probably looked in 1925 which is the date for the Seneca Lake and Ontario RR.
First two walls are just about done. Have a bit of clean up to do on the one with the door, and will need to add the shop sign later after it is assembled. Only non scratch parts are the commercial windows. Everything else on the building will be made by me.
