Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

I'm a tradesman...you start at the bottom and work up from there :thumbs: timber is redily avalable in whatever size you require, shouldn't take more than a couple weeks to stick up :Biggrin: Painting it on the other hand would be extra.
Hmmm… couple of weeks. So what you’re saying is that there would be no government departments involved ?
 
How'd YOU like to be the inspector on that? LOL! No thanks!
You got that right. No drones back then.

No paint required luckily as they would all be soaked in environmentally friendly creosote !

I quit using creosote treated wood in my smoker due to the black oily buildup. I only use Copper naphthenate treated wood chips now. Much cleaner burn.
For some reason, I think that explains a lot. (LOL)

The auto is a 1938 Studebaker State Commander. Only 224 were produced for the 1938 model year and less than a half dozen survive. To me it looks like its about to cry.
If the bumper was misaligned like on alot of the 58's it definitely would be crying.
 
After the 23rd time her dishtowel glove caught fire, she finally decided an asbestos glove might be a better option...
And her coveralls are suspiciously clean for working in front of a coal fired oven all day.
