Here's a link instead. <br />http://www.unbrokenhome.com/ElkRunOffice1.jpg<br />I don't want to show you the back - I think it'll be interesting to compare our guesses after you finish! <br />Olehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316706150363742633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777066647675257012.post-63409967588064713342020-07-22T07:39:12.401-04:002020-07-22T07:39:12.401-04:00Here's a link to Tichy Train Parts lamp reflec...Here's a link to Tichy Train Parts lamp reflectors: https://www.tichytraingroup.com/Shop/tabid/91/c/ho_structure-parts/p/8027/Default.aspx.

I went with a more utilitarian version it sounds like. I think this could be a good motivation to get back to the model and do some work. Where would you look to find light shades like the ones on this building?<br />Thanks!Olehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316706150363742633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777066647675257012.post-67678693844716249672020-07-21T18:13:42.145-04:002020-07-21T18:13:42.145-04:00Thanks for the kind words about the railroad, Ole....Thanks for the kind words about the railroad, Ole. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the back of the yard office. And that's the side that will be visible from the aisle! I plan to use the same windows that appear in the photos along with a door of some type. I checked the C&OHS files and there's a picture of the yard office showing that the shed is attached. I have no idea when it was added to the structure.Tom Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04787028891178734529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8777066647675257012.post-40799085947791122162020-07-21T10:11:48.493-04:002020-07-21T10:11:48.493-04:00Hi Tom, I've been reading your blog for a coup...Hi Tom, I've been reading your blog for a couple years now - thanks for sharing all your great work. I love the layout - it's my favorite coalfields modeling I've seen. You've really paid attention to a lot of key visuals and it's definitely convincing. I felt compelled to comment as I've been working on and off on the Elk Run Jct. yard office for the last year (I don't get things done quickly!). I've found a number of photos online and in books of the office over the years, but never the backside - did you end up with any? I also can't tell if that shed on the near end of the office is attached - I assume it isn't but I can't tell. Anyhow I look forward to seeing your version. Thanks again for sharing.<br />OleOlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316706150363742633noreply@blogger.com
