 The museum could possibly go online, look for curved plywood manufactures located in United States.

 I wonder if Brendon ran the boards through the planner S/1 or S/2 ? Really only necessary to make one pass to make all board the same thickness.

  Brendan,  The pictures show great progress in framing the building. Looking at the large support post the crane has been a great help. Wonder if any angle bracing will be added to the walls after the sheeting is complete?  Thanks for your leadership on the Engine House looking great.    Fred Kuhns

 Will the run through track have a landscape wall added in the future?   Fred Kuhns

  Mike,  Is there a plan to compact the new floor material in the pavilion, or is that necessary ?  Your leadership is greatly appreciated on the following project , which took several years to complete to its present stage.      Fred L.

 In the last several weeks there was news of the metal roofing being finished and the car return to storage. What is the time frame to complete the brakes and safety chains?       Thanks Fred L. Kuhns

 It is good news that the metal roof will finally be installed. With the roof on, the brakes can be added along with brake staff, roof walk, and safety chains. The finishing touches sometimes take longer than one would hope.  Hats off to the BOD for seeing the project to completion.   Thanks Fred Kuhns

It now appears you and your crew are ready to began working on finishing the interior, looking forward to the next stage of progress reports.  The pictures of the progress, on all locations of your website , provided added clarity to your written reports.   Thanks,  Fred L. Kuhns

 The work over the last several weeks on the bridge, rock on the woods track, repair to the tool shed and general clean up form the big wind storm. Plus planning for the Christmas trains gives each member of our great museum a great appreciation of all the work done by our local volunteers. Love the new roof on the tool shed.

 Mike,  In the times pasted, the timber clearing crews worked in the winter months to clear right of way or other necessary fields for the museum.  Is it possible to still do such while working under permits?

  Joe Fox, has a good idea in adding railings on the back side and along the sides of the ramp to the ground.  Could use some of the wooden guards post before they are cut into ties as post.
