Almost have the coal pocket finished. Still need to build the coal chute.
Got all the roof rafters down
In the pic below, I've got the sub-roof down. Corrugated roofing will go over this
Here are a few pics of the hoist house
I replaced the kit windows with Grandt Line 5032. These are what the Durango hoist house windows look like according to the various pics I've looked at.
I added in a representative interior. I had some Rio Grande Models castings laying around on my workbench for about a year. I used the 2 drum wench, which is not quite right, but it looks close enough. Also added the Blacksmith set #3 which is an air tank and compressor. It looks pretty good through the windows and sure looks heaps better than an empty building.
Next up is the hoist house roof and putting the coal pocket on top of the HH.
Will add some stout bracing to the underside roof, so it doesn't sag.
