The Atlantic and Southern Build Thread Continued, Part 2

[ACL1504]

After drying, I removed the blocks and stacked a few against the wall for a look see.



I then removed them in order, applied a bead of Elmer's glue to the bottom and worked my way up. I applied a bead of glue for each row.



More in a few.

Gondola ramp area. I had to remove Greg's door stop first!








Diet Pepsi time, back in a few.

[ACL1504]

Main pit finished.



Waiting on more blocks to dry. This project will be finished tomorrow.

Greg you are too much.

Curt,

Now aren't you glad you met all these guys? I did tell you we were a bit different, okay, a lot different.

That gondola looks like a tight squeeze with the stone walls.  Better have a no clearance sign for the car riders.

Jeff,

Yes, tight squeeze and signs will be posted. Like John said, "It's the details that count."

I'm using Evergreen Polystyrene I-beams for the track supports over the ash pit.




I cut slots in the blocks for the I-beams.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

I removed 14 ties from the code 83 ME track and glued a section of I-beam to the bottom of the rail.



I then cut short pieces of I-beam and glued them under the track I-beam for the I-beam supports. The track was then placed in the pit for a test fit. Nothing glued at this time.

So far so good.



More in a few.

[ACL1504]

Of course the track MUST be level.





Diet Pepsi time, back later this afternoon.
