Nice morning in Central Florida today. Sitting on the patio at WaWa drinking coffee before a morning walk.
Then back to the modeling bench and adding flooring to the sawmill

Good morning, ya'll....I've got a bag of Dunkin Donuts, a dozen mixed....anybody made coffee yet???
I've begun placing flooring/decking on the O Scale sawmill I'm working on

Merry Christmas or whatever holiday you happen to be celebrating at the moment.

Coffee is brewing...River Blend from Lakota Coffee in Columbia, Mo.

A quiet day for us today in the Blue Ridge. Celebrating with the grands tomorrow but for sure some time at the modeling bench today

I'm wondering what the real world roof construction would have been on an 1850s passenger car. I'm building a LaBelle kit which will be a 'well used' but not so nearly well maintained car being used as an office/storage space for my Fosscale Gruber Glass Co.
Two questions I have. What was used to waterproof/seal the roof? Sheet goods (like tarpaper) or a tar like substance that was trowled on?
What was the underlying substrate structure. This was pre-plywood days so I'm thinking 2x board material. I've attached a roof photo of Gruber Glass and want to do the same type of 'deteriorating' roof condition on the car.
Gruber Glass is doing well business wise but old man Gruber doesn't believe in spending hard earned money on roof repairs....maybe next summer before the Florida rainy season.
Thanks

Anyone know of a manufacturer than offers HO/HON3 models of switchers modeled after the H.K. Porter Co....specifically used on the Oahu Railway and Land Co. (linking all Naval sites on the island on Oahu)
