Train Order Office - Part II

 

 

Progress has occurred on the train order office model. As you can see in the photo, all 4 walls are now completely finished. The photo does not do them much justice, as the walls are slightly warped causing the windows to look uneven - we'll fix that when it is installed.

Now the remaining step before assembly is to fill some of the over cuts with body putty and smooth out any rough spots along the tops of the walls to aid in final assembly.

Also of note, I drilled two small pilot holes on the "trackside" wall. The upper hole will be the source of the antenna equipment wires. The lower hole is for a separate apparatus that links to the train order board itself adjacent to the block office.

The next step before gluing all 4 walls together is to create the small overhang for the door, as well as to assemble the staircase. As the entire structure thus far will be flat white in color as on the prototype, we will paint the model once all the white details are completely finished. The antenna and train order board linkage will be attached separately.
