 Philip, never been to Evansville, IN for swap meets, but have gone to the towns of Fort Wayne, Indianapolis and Terra Haute for RR shows and conventions when we lived in the Midwest. Will follow your build ... Tommy

Hi Tommy,
I usually visit the narrow gauge shows south of Indy along 65. Narrow Gauge activity has been sparse in this area since covid 19 passed through. I just can't stand travelling for long distances.

Daniel Banks has sponsored a few NG shows recently but I missed them as he didn't put the word out.

The piers are ready for installation but I want to finish all the signage and bling. Not sure where to say good enough as I found some benches and picnic tables in my stash. I really don't even have a place to plant it so I may have to add another section to my layout.

The entire project was based on the last photo. The sign was found in New Orleans long ago. Brainstorming I decided to resurrect the joint into the roadhouse your seeing. The signs were are all 3d printed. I'm still searching for some old liquor posters and such. Signage is not attached or weathered yet. The bottom Juke joint sign was printed first and is a bit large.

Thanks for looking!

Howdy Philip, Those signs are perfect.  Creativity abounds in this build.  I can almost hear the music coming from the joint.  Have fun, mike
My current builds are on the Buffalo Canyon Mining Company's wooden Howe Truss Bridge, and miscellaneous rolling stock .

Philip,

I love the Juke Joint and the jib for bending the goose necks. Well done.
