I next built the floor framing. I used 2X10s and glued them to the bottom side of the horizontal supports.



Prior to the glue drying, I used a cut end of a 6X6 to run the edge and remove any lasting glue.

Here is how it will look with the floor temp. in place.

Morning all,

I'll also pass on the green stuff but I'll have a Diet Pepsi later.

My plan is to update the REA thread later.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

Morning Craig and others drifting in,

Craig, I may have hit the preview button, saw the post and clicked out. Came back and it was gone. No big deal from here.

The Judge is coming over to run some trains. Later lunch at the local watering hole.

Not sure what the rest of the weekend will bring in the way of fun.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

The first wall section was glued in place and weights were added and set over night as the glue dried.



I forgot to mention that I allowed a 1/16" gap at the bottom of the interior wall. This is where the floor will fit.

I used the kit walls as a template and drew the bay door openings on the wall section. The walls were then cut along the lines as shown below.

I decided to add interior details to the warehouse. This also made me aware that interior walls and a floor needed to be added to the kit.

I used 1/16" X 1/32" scribed siding for the interior walls.

Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I was going to cut this thread down to only a few photos but decided to keep posting the build details. There is a lot of time invested in building, taking photos along the way, uploading the photos, cropping the photos, listing them in the forum gallery and then adding them to the thread.

I've been doing this, very detailed builds, for the past 15+ years but find if no one comments, there is no need for me to take the time to do the thread in detail.

This will be my last very detailed thread. In the future, I'll do what Karl Schultz did, show the unbuilt kit and the final photos.

When Doug cut the front warehouse bay walls, he used two different panels and as you can see they don't match. However, on this section of wall, it won't matter.

A small office bump out covers the unmatched walls.

 Jerry,

Happy to see this thread back up and running. You've been busy and I love the look of the track plan.

Looking forward to more.

Afternoon all,

I've been doing absolutely nothing today. Just putzing around here and there in the A&S RR Office.

Bob, you are getting close. Remember, everyday is Saturday except Sunday. Even a Sunday can be a Saturday.

Have a great rest of the day ya'll.
