Car Barn Extension - Official Work Thread

[Paul Uhland]

Leaving the main roof supports in place, will the car barn's east wall be removed as part of the building's coming display space?

[James Patten]

Yes, eventually the "bump out" will be moved north a ways.  Not the whole length because it will interfere with track and the road and crossing to the track shed.  Phase II, which depends on funding.

Thanks Roger for this nice song. Casket is sure enough dated in the meaning I used it.

[Paul Uhland]

Thanks, James.
Happy WW&F New Year.

[James Patten]

Phase II will also include, I think, ventilation cupolas at the top of the building, and reclaim surface for the rest of the barn.  We'll probably need to relay the third bay track.   Eventually we'll want power in there too, I think, but that might be Phase III.

The snow and ice melted off the building so were back at work.

[Jeff Schumaker]

That went up quickly. What's next?

Very fine-looking work.
Too bad track 1? elevation needs re-set.

[Ed Lecuyer]

Track/Bay 3 needs some work.

Track/Bays 2 and 1 (1 is closest to the bump out/photographer) are temporarily attached to the existing barn. Additional work in firming up these joints will come in the Spring after the ground thaws.

The rest of the roof purlions went on today and the back wall of the bump out was framed in and sheathed.

Nice chair Fred..

Making progress while the snow melts.

Those boards on the north wall of the bump-out look familiar. I think I may have helped remove some of them from the former south end wall.

Carry on.

[John Kokas]

I still say we need to get Fred a "Directors Chair".

[Harold Downey]

Wow, we can't even get the roof on, and it's filling with rolling stock already!

Happens with every building we build, including the garage.
