Back out to JTS- 8/31/11

I headed out to Joshua Tree for another visit with Bob and John. Bob Whitt and I spent part of the morning assessing the buildings Miles left for us. All in all a good mix of buildings that should look great on the railroad.

Bob and I then met up with John at the Railroad. We did some arm waving and yelling (that is how everyone expresses themselves, isn't it?), then got down to the business at hand. The raised bed was measured and the size was adjusted to allow for our minimum diameter to be 8' or LGB 1600(0) series curves. The planter walls were realigned after some further measuring, arm waving and minor yelling. Since we were having so much fun, we decided to move some rocks so John will know where we need more dirt.

The three of us also discussed a picnic enclosure. The design we currently agreed upon is a smaller version of the main picnic enclosure. The structure will be built of lumber, painted green, with a corrugated metal roof, facing the same direction as the main structure. Some form of weather resistant storage cabinets will be along the south wall, and a custom dirt floor will be used to support the picnic bench. Power can be run to the enclosure using the existing line that runs to the G-scale convenience outlets.

We will be styling soon,

Don
