Do your crews find it a challenge to spot those cars? Greg R. Thank you, Greg! I don’t think they find it much of a challenge. My 2-8-0 easily pushes several cars up the grade and because there is only one size of coal they don’t have to spot cars very accurately.

I like the trestle. Your fence is coming along nicely. There is a trestle project in my future(trap rock though). Question, why did railroads have an enclosed and open coal area? I am a rail and coal neophyte. Scott Edited by - CNE1899 on 11/26/2020 10:41:44 AM Country: | Posts: 105 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 11/26/2020 :  7:05:16 PM       Thank you, Scott. I don’t know why some coal operations are not covered. The photos of coal trestles usually show relatively small operations, like mine. In most photos of coal dealers in the northeast they are covered and have bins for different sizes.

It would be a lot of work to break the coal loose for a mid-winter delivery. dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8740 jbvb Fireman Premium Member Posted - 11/26/2020 :  9:45:20 PM       The residential coal market was mostly seasonal, but some customers had a coal bin big enough for a whole winter's worth of coal; they usually bought in late summer for lower prices.

They can be built ax’s separate structures because all four walls for each are supplied. I intend to join them although I haven’t decided on the exact configuration. I just need to do the roofing and I’m done with this phase.

Country: USA | Posts: 6988 Bernd Fireman Posted - 11/29/2020 :  12:10:39 PM       Nice looking little "shacks". I do have a question on the one with the brick chimney though. Is there enough room between the door and wind for the brick to go all the way to the floor without either partially blocking the door or window?

Bernd It does look a little tight. :-) dave Modeling 1890s (because the voices in my head told me to) Country: USA | Posts: 8740 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 11/29/2020 :  6:50:47 PM       Thanks, guys. There’s sufficient space between window and door for the chimney with the window frame close or against the chimney, like the prototype (page 1.)
