Ooops! Major error.

Readers may have noticed that this post has come out over two hours late. This is possibly only the second time since the blog’s inception that this has happened. The cause was a convergence of circumstances augmented by omscaler not planning properly. The contributing factor’s were going out of town last Friday for a family member’s high school graduation and the Memorial day weekend. The local library was closed for the holiday and omscaler did not visit the library on Friday. Doing this would have prevented the problem. As a side note, for the time being omscaler does not have internet at home. Thus the need to visit the library. At any rate, The William Hull house has all walls up and the roof deck as well. Next will be the roof proper and then porches. Details will follow. Humbly moving along, omscaler 

Do I have a bay window (or two)?

Many years ago people with a large stomach were said to have a bay window. Omscaler reports that he has two bay windows. Neither on his person. Omscaler is very happy to say this. As this post is written, both bay window assemblies are ready to install. Also, going in are main walls. We take little steps at this point. As a point in fact, some additional laser cutting was needed for a wall section. Making slow progress, omscaler 

I am floored

Currently in progress are the bay window assemblies. These are two story bay windows. Hence the upper bay windows will need floors. Omscaler feels up to the task. Also, new laser techniques were used to assist in the making of the bay window walls. All in all, the new methods are producing a crisper appearance. Looking forward to the next steps, er’ floors. Omscaler 

Am I in pane (again)

Yes. Omscaler is in pane. Making panes that is. Actually, windowpanes may all be complete as of this post. More specifically, panes were applied to all frames including front and back door windows. Naturally what follows is installing frames and doors to house walls. This will be done before attaching walls to each other. Looking forward to seeing the completed dwelling, omscaler

 

Not a townhouse

Omscaler is continuing to work on the William Hull House. Many components are ready for assembly. We have been able to use a new method to make bay window sections. This approach gives a cleaner appearance and is easier to assembly correctly. Actual window glazing will use the puddled glue method for the same reasons. Regarding the above caption, it was pointed out to omscaler that this is a free standing dwelling and not an attached townhouse. Omscaler needs to be correct on as many points as possible. Building on, omscaler

 

Introducing the new passenger depot

As a point of fact, the depot had a “soft opening” last Thursday. The Omega Scale Railway is very proud to have this addition to the railroad. The old depot building still stands and is now used as the Obion County Chamber of Commerce. The original station featured Spanish tile porch roofs. Curved porch roof supports, wainscoting and two sets of double doors. Also, the building has an asymmetrical four sided bay window. Since the depot is located on a sixty-degree rail crossing, the building has an irregular shape. If readers live in or visit west Tennessee, perhaps a visit could be made. On to the next set of projects, omscaler

 

Done and done for the depot

 

It is expected that as of this post, the Union City, Tennessee, Union Station is complete. Omscaler is very proud to have this historic landmark represented on The Omega Scale Railway. This station will provide for passenger service to have a destination and departures between this town and Murphysboro, Illinois. Now, all that is needed to lay track on the Union City module. Also, to make a circuit, curved track sections are needed. The Very Small Railroad always has plenty to do. As a side note, omscaler enjoyed visiting the Gadsden Train Show this past Saturday. Looking forward to the next one. Still working and planning, omscaler
