Step 1: cutting complete

I have removed the rope pulls and the airline brackets.  Plus I sanded down the parting material on the bottom of the center bay.  Next will be filling of the grab iron holes.

Blue Rapids depot progress

  Progress images of the Blue Rapids, KS, depot build. I tackled the north side of the depot along with the bay window. You'll notice the skirting and asbestos siding are lower on the bay than on the side of the depot. The bay window as added in 1911 - 40 years after it was originally built in 1871 (haven't found documentation that it's not the original depot). All the door/windows and the bay are test fit. I still need to build and paint the trim pieces. Once the bay is installed, I will then assemble the four sides of the depot.   Line marks for asbestos siding installation.       Test fit of windows, doors, and the bay   Bay window   Down view of the bay window showing the four laminated sheets of .020 styrene   Interior view of the bay with windows test fit.
