I hope you were wearing gloves……in my experience cats don’t take kindly to being placed in a sack!
For anyone who knows.. please don’t let the cat out of the bag yet.
We’re working on an announcement…
Thanks all,

Guess it will be hidden behind the shake finish, so these photos are the documentation of how and what went in to the construction. Looking great!Will the engine house be sided in shingles or shakes? There is a difference. Shakes are split off where shingles are sawn smooth on both sides and tapered.

QuoteIt is also planned to modify our home-built Beatty-style flanging machine to serve as a brake...
As in a train brake? We have to toss it out the end of the car like an anchor.
Hello ! Have the AMTP just got a new steamlocomotive? For further information give a look at my fb page.Alain,
"Rock the house" sort of refers to a party with loud music, or other loud, boisterous gathering.Originally it referred to a boisterous crowd at a venue like a theater.
The terms trig and sprag go back to the terms used when securing a horse drawn wagon’s wheels.
I would also comment, Alain, that railroading has its own vocabulary, and even its own regional words and phrases. For example, in New England, a device to hold a rail vehicle in place is called a "trig," while in the mid-Atlantic the same thing is called a "chock." Some railroaders refer to it as a "block," and I've heard some railroaders also call it a "sprag."
