Good Morning Everyone,
Just a quick update on my build. I have completed fitting the cardboard roof panels to the structure. I then cut out the roof panels in 1/32 plywood in the hopes of having a removable wood roof. Currently, I'm disappointed in this process. I am now comtemplating Richie C's idea of a lexan roof. The wood roof panels wont lay flat unless I put some wood strips underneath to keep them flat. I'm working on trying to get my last plywood sheet to lay flat. I have attached some photos. The panels are glued edge to edge and will lay flat if some weight is added.
I have also purchased some more interior items and some roof mounted venting systems. Being a retired firefighter, I have to have extinguishers and alarm bells.
And as promised, my CSS and Daylight in the stalls. The tenders will stick out of the doors.
I have lots of room between the structure and the tops of the engines. I did receive my Altoona smoke jacks yesterday. I think there may be a need to do some trimming (length wise) to get them to fit since they're designed for another structure.
Until next time...
