PRR Bellevue Sub Build

I like how you finished your freebie.  I almost thought about leaving the doors open for some interior work but had no idea how they would open.  Too big for an overhead door.  Do they slide to the side?  Anyway, I just glued them closed.

Looking good, Curt.

Personally, I don't have a problem with the over height doors.  I would have thought they would be quite practical - and also that there would be plenty of prototypical examples of tire shops with over height doors.

Cheers, Mark.

Excellent job on the garage Curt!  Nicely done all around!

Curt,

Very nice job on the FOS freebie garage. Like Mark, I don't think the doors look out of scale for a garage, even a small one. I've seen auto garages that had doors two stories height.

I also think you did a good job on the Pennsy diesel in cutting away the sides.

Jeff,

In my experience the doors would have worked like the bifold doors on a closet.  They could possibly be a trifold with all the doors hinged together, but given their size, IMO it is most likely there would be one hinged door and a bifold door.  HTH

This discussion on doors reminds me:  As I was looking at the brickworks office, I realized the doors I chose probably don't actually work in that structure.  They're designed as barn doors, but there's not enough room for the doors to open left-and-right.  Hopefully no one will notice!

Afternoon All,

Thank you, Jeff, Mark, Bob, Tom, Jerry, and Dave for your observations, kind words, and suggestions.

The measurements are 10.5'v x 11.25'h (scale) which is smaller than they look to my eye. It still didn't look right so initially I cut out three pieces of wood to fit in the 3 upper windows but didn't like the effect. I finally cut one piece across all three windows. Before gluing I painted it and put the business sign on it.

After the board was glued down the doors were 7.5'v x 11.25'h.

Afternoon All,

Today I finished the FOS Lucky 7 Tavern. It has a small footprint that will be next to a FOS Diner (next up) and an FOS manufacturing plant.

Nice job on the Lucky 7 Tavern, Curt.  She'll look great on the layout.

You almost made me break that one out to build but I already have my sights set on a different FOS kit.  

[Zephyrus52246]

Good looking tavern, Curt.
