Special thanks to John and Jane Griffin for providing the holiday lights and the photo of the picnic shelter.

Change comes to the G Scale Area

 Bob Whitt and I debate some of the finer points of the project

On Thursday, 11/19/15, Bob Whitt and I worked on a long overdue project, the G Scale picnic enclosure.  John Griffin had picked up some cast concrete pylons with 4x4 post hangers sometime in the past year.  The pylons had been parked in the G-scale area for far too long.  The pylons were set, posts and beams placed, rafters and fascia boards installed.  Bob used some 2x6 pieces and cut knees for the structure.  The knees were installed on Saturday, 11/21/15.  Once paint is purchased the structure will be painted.  

                                                      Thanks for the push and help Bob!

The plan is to cover the south wall with T-111 plywood, a counter top and some storage storage cabinets.  Roofing will be corrugated metal similar to the campground picnic shelter.

Blogging ain't my thing.

No matter my well placed intentions things always manage to get in the way of me updating this blog.  Perhaps I should hand this off to one of my daughters, they are always up to date.

Yesterday John Griffin had trains running on the G scale layout.  Thank you John!
JTS members Michael and Nancy brought Megan and railroad operator, conductor and engineer Matthew out for an operating session (loop the loop).  John passed along these photos to memorialize the event.  Looks like it was a beautiful day.
