Are you sure you want to cover up all that framing with corrugated roofing?

Looks great Curt

Nice work. Nail it! 

I've done that many times covering a tidy frame job. Those lil figures will thank you!

Afternoon All,

Thank you Jerry, Dave, Larry, Tom, Rick, Ron, and Philip for following along and your kind words. They are really appreciated.

Today I attached the corrugated roofing.The kit says to use tar paper for the back room roof and the ridge cap. I thought this would be very noticeable so I used corrugated on both.

I should be able to finish the tipple portion of the build by this coming Monday. The last two things to do are a landing guard rail and extensions for the three chutes.

Afternoon All,

Thank you Rick and Larry for your kind words and following along.

Today I finished the Tipple portion of the build.

First I put some gray weathering powder on the roofing, built the safety railing, glued on the 2 hand wheels and modified the operating system so it made more sense with 2 blocks of wood and 2 flat car side pockets. Finally, I painted,weathered the 3 coal chutes extensions.

Next up is the Head Frame. I looked ahead and read the next set of instructions several times and still don't fully understand them. I guess I'll get there.
