Can't say I've seen Outhouses of the non-flushing variety with windows at all, I once sought them out on my trips for photographs, although my NZ experience was only with the one at my Uncles farm when I was very young....and I avoided it like the plauge.
Definitely no window in there hence my asking about a shelter for the Watchman.
As for the picture of my HO Coalingtrestle, I can only find the one picture from 1985/6. Remember this wasn't to be an exact C&S model given the Mine type Orebins used for lack of measurements or detailed photographs for my freelance line, and built from only the photographs in Mineral Belt II. The curve in the print makes the Bents look slanted but I assure you they are upright and the gap in the off-side roof was the removable panel to see the interior.
It appears in hindsight I had borrowed heavily from the pictures of the Pine Grove Chutes as well as standard Trestle construction and ran out of time to build the Stairway before the convention deadline due to getting transferred out of my original Loco Depot. Can't say I have any memory of why I arrived at including those windows in the Shed either.
Ugh, I so want to turn back the clock!
