Afternoon All,

Thank you Terry, Philip, Jerry, Mike, Rick, and Tom for following along and your kind words.

Today I continued working on details before being called by daughter and got called away.

The first one is the basic hoist house.

This is the workbench that will go into the hoist house.

You'll need a board with a bell and this sign for bell signals:

Afternoon All,

Thank you Dave, Rick, Bernd, Philip, Ron, Jerry, and Larry for following along and your kind words.

Dave I'll try to find something similar online.

Today I made the pegs from 0.15 phosphorus wire from Tichy. After cutting I blackened them and glued them into the wall. After that I glued the details on.

The details are on an outside wall and the brown beam is the roof support for the open walled shed that the boiler sits in.

Afternoon All,

Thanks for following along and your kind words Rick.

Thanks to Dave (I stole your photo) I now have a Bell ring index on the wall with a crank bell next to it.

That looks great!   Is it where the hoist operator can see it?
