Dan,

These vehicles are wonderful. Yes, the truck shop got the flaps back on and in good shape. I didn't see any PO PO's but that don't mean they ain't around the next tree or bill board.

Thank you for the vehicles and I'll send more  $$$ when you have any others.

The vehicles look great.

Thanks for the nice comments. I got the idea for the bus after finding a photo of one in a junkyard out west.

You are very welcome. The bus is wonderful and is perfect for the A&S RR.

Thank you.

Well, I managed to get some work done after having the crud for the better part of two weeks.

I did more work on the quonset hut building. The kit comes with a plastic deck that fits on the left front and left side.

I glued the two pieces together and used a piece of scrap spruce to hold the bottom as the glue dried.





More in a few.

I did a test fit to make sure the two deck pieces were square to the structure.



It all fit nicely.

I then stained some HO scale strip wood and glued them to the plastic deck. I used scale 2x8's for front and side edges. I used scale 2x6's for the decking.



More in a few.

Quonset Hut?
Did you say Quonset Hut?
The best beer I ever had in my life was a cold bottle(s) of San Miguel ((better known by its real name Sam Magoo)) with/for lunch at Naval Station Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines after a very long stretch as a member of the Tonkin Bay Yacht Club.
I know that's not railroad related, but ah, the memory!
Thanks, Tom.

Chip,

Yes, I did say quonset hut. Its good to be able to get some of your memory juices flowing again. You are quite welcome.

I just had a nice hour visit from Reading Bob. He stopped by on the way to bowling.

I used HO scale 6x6's for the support posts. I glued the support posts in place and then glued the deck sub structure in place. While that was drying I painted the quonset hut roof.

I used Floquil Polly Scale Aged White full strength on the roof. I then applied one coat of Hunterline A&I light gray to the roof. When dry, I used various shades of gray, beige, and burnt sienna Pan Pastels on the roof.
