I am sorry about the upside down images fellas. I flipped my phone over to get the lens lower, and it is like the JPG has a weight in it and flips over here on the forum.

Norm built the part out of a bunch of 2x4s. I tried to add NBW detail, but it didn't come out in S. Norm, did it come out in O? It would be easy enough to clip boards off and make different versions. There are six parts to a sprue. This is the first time I have ordered a part in the tan plastic, and I have to say in the raw it could pass for wood.

Speaking of hooch, I don't know where I heard this, but it makes sense to me. I believe the South Platte follows the County line between Jefferson and Douglas Counties. Once in the canyon, it is remote and the thought occured to me that it would be a fine place to set up a still. Especially if you were friends with the train crew, and could set out a flag and gently place a couple gallon jugs on the deck as the Passenger slowly ambled past. Empties could come back the same way.

Just sayin.
