Curt,

Just getting caught up on this one.  Very nicely done. Good thing you have some Pennsy hoppers.

Great build my friend.

Hey Curt:

That's coming along nicely so far. I never blacked castings like that before. Let me know how it is painting them over the black.

Thank you Darryl, Mike, Jerry, Bob B., Tom, and Karl for following and your kind words. I'll have a update tomorrow.

Very nice--I love coal and related structures--must be my heritage.
Anyway, this is looking very cool.  Love the bracing and just the general look of the kit. Nice job so far.  Those multi-step windows and doors certainly take considerable time and patience, but are worth it. Yours look great.

George thank you for your kind words.

Yesterday and Today I spent the majority of my modeling time building the 2 coal chutes for the lower tipple. 

[PRR Modeler]

I figured it would be easier to weather them before mounting them since I mounted the lower tipple walls to the base too early...oops. One thing I did extra was super glue a piece of wood (sprue) against the brace and thread to make sure it didn't come loose. Tomorrow I'm working on the headhouse.

[PRR Modeler]

Good Afternoon,

Today I built the headhouse and slathered grimy black on the inside since that is where the coal is dumped and moved. I also built the 3 main roof sub floors and test fit. Tomorrow I plan on putting the shingles on.

Whew, Giddyup - you're really cranking through that build! Very nice.

Interesting structure. You do really good work, Curt.  Thanks for letting us follow along.
