so much to do, so little time. Stay tuned.      Frank / Erieman 

Dam, folks just don't realize how retirement just adds extra time to fill up with
more and more need-to's!! 

David,

You are so right. And those honey do's keep getting in the way!

 Raymo mentioned that the East end Market that I am building is in the same town as the East End Market.

Frank / Erieman
Just a correction, It's in the same town as Reed Supply, AKA Hooker and Sons. They're about 2000 feet from each other as the crow flies.

Dan,

Thanks for correcting my OOP's. I guess I did not proof read this one or it was late in the day! On my layout, the two structures will be about 15 feet and several towns apart. I have been planning what structures will surround East End Market and have several candidates in mind. More about that later.

On another subject, today I and several other helpers are replacing a fascia board on the train building. the board is 2"x12"x24 feet long. This is one heavy mother and is about 16 feet off the ground. I'll be glad when this project is done. The good news is that it will be a lovely sunny day. If I have time during this project, I'll try to take a picture.

Frank...I'm loving watching this one evolve.....love the detail and research you go to for your builds....great stuff!!

On another subject, today, I and several other helpers are replacing a fascia board on the train building. the board is 2"x12"x24 feet long and has been showing signs of disrepair. When wood checks out here, it is bad. It is amazing what all the sun does to wood. This is one heavy mother and is about 16 feet off the ground. I'll be glad when this project is done. The good news is that it will be a lovely sunny day. If I have time during this project, I'll try to take a picture.

Five hours later and the old fascia on the train building has been removed and the new fascia added. Here are a couple of pictures of me and my helpers during the removal and replacement process. Glad that project is done. Painting comes Monday. It may look small, but that fascia board was 24 feet long. now back to the railroad.

Jeff,

Good to hear from you. Glad you are following along. Lots of research on this build, but fun. I'll be starting the actual build real soon.

Frank / Erieman

Erieman,
that will be a fantastic build and the work you are doing on research about the history is great.Can´t wait to see more progress on this on and will follow along..

Cheers,Chris

Frank,

It appears you are very thrilled to be working on a 1:1 repair. And, I'm sure you are happy the job is finished.

Tom

Frank, You have my address,put a little of that sunshine in a envelope and send it my way,PLEASE   Raymo

Dan,   Why are we still here??

I wasn't smart enough to play the lottery last night

Nobody won, it's up to $450m.  That could buy a lot of trains.  And it's actually a 'good bet' (payoff is more than odds of winning, 1/175,223,501.  Of course, you have a much better chance to be hit by lightning...)

Chris,

Thanks for stopping by. glad you like the project so far. As you can see, I have been sidelined with a repair to the train room structure. the hard part is done and with a little paint tomorrow, it will be done so I can get back to this project. I need to contact some more folks in St. Johnsbury to see what more can be added to the structure story.

Top of the Morning Tom,

You have that right. Glad it is done except for the painting. Those guys were a lot of help. That 24 foot fascia board was one heavy mother. Need to get back to the railroad. visitors coming next week to help me with trees. I talked to John the other day and mentioned that he couldn't wait to get here. He was tired of winter. Well, need to get back to the railroad. Have a great day and I look forward to seeing some pics of level two on your layout.

Dan and Ollevon,

Sorry about my comments about our weather. You guys are really getting hammered this year. Our bad weather is in the summer months when the temperature gets over a 100 degrees. That will be here soon enough and then I will really be in the train room a lot. Our summer is like your winter as far as the hobby is concerned. Like anything else, too much of anything gets tiring. As nice as it is outside, I still like to be in the train room. Have a great weekend and I hope the next storm is not as bad as forecast.

Frank / Erieman
