It is still removable so I can work on the rest of the structure and the front legs aren't glued on as yet. This will be done and bracing added once the wharf deck is made. The side windows are also on. I quite like their horizontal orientation. They are Grandt line 3713.

I like those Grandt-Line windows, too. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33527 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 03/11/2021 :  4:16:40 PM     Current status of the Campbell Sand Facility. The three parts of the kit are glued together and to a base. I still have quite a bit of work on the Sand Tower.

Mike Mace Northern Division of the Santa Fe Country: USA | Posts: 1903 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 03/11/2021 :  5:59:36 PM       Looking really good, Bruce. Do you know what the small doors were for? Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7497 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 03/11/2021 :  6:58:17 PM     Looking good, Rob. I love to watch your buildings grow. Nice progress, Bruce. That tower looks pretty complex. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16948 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/11/2021 :  9:04:49 PM     Thanks all. Bruce, it's looking really good. That tower does look fiddly. Great job on the steps going up the side. Very neatly done. I assume they are wire. Were they part of the kit ? Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2954 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 03/11/2021 :  10:53:32 PM     Thanks, Rob, George, and both Mikes. George, thankfully Leo Campbell included diagrams from all angles including a top view. That helped me figure out the parts and where they needed to go. Rob, all the wood and detail items for the tower were missing from the box. I made the grab irons from brass wire and made a simple jig to drill the holes in the tower side. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33527 Larryc Crew Chief Posted - 03/13/2021 :  11:16:06 AM     Rob your building is growing nicely; great detail. Well done and a nice start to your project. Bruce nice looking group of structures. The tower looks like it was fun to build. This will look great on a layout. Country: USA | Posts: 904 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 03/14/2021 :  10:31:17 AM     Thanks, Larry. I am indeed having fun working on the sand tower. I'm to the 'plumbing/metal work' part of the build. Yesterday I fabricated the fill pipe. The pipe, sand canister and the lid on the sand canister are not glued in place yet. I wanted to see how they looked in a photo first. I think that I will center that lid better and glue it in place. Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33527 postalkarl Fireman Posted - 03/15/2021 :  07:45:10 AM     Hey Robert: Nice job on you build so far. Karl Country: | Posts: 7001 robert goslin Fireman Premium Member Posted - 03/15/2021 :  8:49:45 PM     Bruce, looks great, especially against that backdrop. Very realistic. Thanks Larry & Karl. To give it a bit more of that New England feel, I'm going to add an enclosed exterior staircase at the back. These seem to be common on a lot of models that folks do of structures in the NE states. (FSM, Bar Mills, FOS scale) Anyhow, I did a crude manilla card mock up to see if I like it, and I do. So I'm building this bit at the moment.

Again all balsa. Made a basic box frame. Then covered it with planks. and have made up the corrugated roof panels. And a door on the end Now to paint it, and give the roof a good weathering of rust.

Karl S. Country: | Posts: 7001 Dutchman Administrator Premium Member Posted - 03/17/2021 :  09:14:46 AM     Nice job constructing the enclosed staircase, Rob.
