I have both shades and curtains in the Clam & Oyster House. John Bagley Modeling the Alaska Railroad in HO in Wildwood Georgia.

It was a bit of a squeeze getting in through the door, but I finally made it... John, I got my July 2002 RMC back out last night and looked at that article again. I can see why it inspires you. It's interesting that Bob Bennett's inspiration came from Frary and Hayden's "Thatcher's Inlet" series. That was also a major inspiration for me. I still have those issues of RMC somewhere in my basement. Back in the 80's (don't remember which year right now) the Gazette ran a 3-part series on another waterfront diorama. The photos in Bob Bennett's "Albion" diorama remind me of the Gazette article. I'll have to see if I can find the issues when I get home. Paul, about the windows: I didn't put any coverings in the Launch Co. windows, but like John I left some partially open. I did put shades in several windows in the Clam building but no curtains/drapes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm a busy man. I have a railroad to run.

I didn't think it would look good to have shades on the Launch Co. I wanted your ideas on it. I'll probably start the windows this weekend. Working on the signs later today. All, I was wondering who all is working on Foss’ Landing. I know Mike, John, Jim, Harry & myself are. Is Jimmy going to start when he gets his Foss’ kit? Has anyone else started or going to start?

The mullions/frames that came with my kit were the self-adhesive variety. I just peeled the backing off and pressed the "glass" on. I noticed John said he had to glue his on with ACC. That may be another difference in the kits. (We noticed early on that there is a difference in the printing/binding/page numbering of our manuals, so there may be differences in construction materials also.)

Mike, Mine too are self sticking but I thought Paul was talking about putting the windows into the openings, maybe I'm incorrect. If he is talking about putting the windows into the openings I too used ac for that part. I did put curtains and blinds on my Clam and Oyster bar and will most likely not do so on the Launch comany since most of this type of business I've seen didn't have any. I also did a number of broken panes of glass on the Clam & Oyster bar and will do 2 or 3 on the Launch company.

Brett talks about using epoxy several different places. I did not know if it was necessary to go to that length since the windows are partly open & do not have much to glue to. My window mullions are self-adhesive as well. I'm sorry for the confusion. My original question was not worded clear enough.

Turned from a brick retaining wall to a "fieldstone" retaining wall. Could not get the bricks the right size. A problem with using a self hardening clay as mortar and clay bricks is they both took an alcohol/india stain equally. So I went with natural color of clay. Now I can start on the Launch Co.
