Work and Events / Re: Sheepscot Passenger Platform Reconstruction - Official Work Thread

« on: March 13, 2023, 11:53:19 AM »

I *think* Mark was referring to constructing something on the new Sheepscot platform.

Yes, that was considered, but quickly ruled out due to the plumbing required. There has been talk about adding a porta-potty to the Sheepscot area for busy days, as patrons typically do not see the Restrooms near the parking lot, then discover there are no facilities near the boarding platform. The giftshop and station crew would also appreciate facilities a bit closer to the action.

Yes I was talking about the new platform. You could a compost toilet and and have hand sanitizer

Has there been thought given to having restroom facilities on the new platform? Nothing fancy but it might be nice to have a restroom close to the train.

Also, BTW, whats up with some of you that prefer to buy prepared food from a GAS STATION?!?!?

Graham, I can only speak for myself. While it's not my first choice, its the convivence that works for me. Gas up my car and my belly. . However I prefer an actual sandwich shop over that anytime.

Hey subs are very important, though here in RI we call them grinders, er grinda's

That's Dynamite! I keep supplies for making Grinders, Wieners, and Coffee Milk in a special Cabinet.

How's THAT for topic drift?

I grew up in southeastern Mass. (Edaville land).  There it was subs, hot dogs and (yes) coffee milk.  We always had a bottle of coffee syrup in the house.  Eclipse, I think, but it might have been Autocrat.

And, BTW, it was soda, not tonic.

I miss coffee milk, since I am diabetic its hard to find a low sugar version  :'(

the Subway joke was meant in jest

[Moderator's Note]
I can't believe I am contemplating splitting a discussion thread in "Whimsical Weirdness and Foolery" due to MASSIVE topic drift from winning the MegaMillions to who makes the best sub.

though a Subway shop on the WW&F Alna Campus would be nice, helpful for families as well.

The vast majority is HO. Some other samplings from other gauges.

Thanks

The museum could really sink their teeth into this event. It may be a good event for new volunteers to teethe on the train.

I'm hoping for a 3-rail O scale version, myself. But I'm weird like that.

As would I

Who is going to be making the decision as to which photos are included and which are not?

Good Question. Also will they be announced on the forum or via private?
