Thanks Andre ! Here is the other picture I forgot to include. This is the waiting room end, faces west, of the depot with siding installation complete. This will be the future entry point for the museum. Sidewalk directly in front goes left to the new parking lot area. Handicap parking spots closest to depot. Area around depot will have platform and will be ADA compliant with accessibility ramps for those with mobility assistance devices.
Thanks Andre ! We really want to get the rest of the siding up before the real rainy season comes, as in this picture one end is already done. As you can see the sky is gloomy and there was light rain a little later. Windows are in and work in progress on refinishing the 2 original waiting room doors and have them in place as well to keep the inside water tight since once exterior is done then onward with completing the interior refurbishment. Hopefully will have the central heat and air in before the sweltering summer heat/humidity descends upon Oklahoma allowing us some relative comfort during the interior work which will probably run on into summer at least if not longer. Hopefully it will be all be done prior to the museum operating the Polar Express Christmas trains.
Hopefully it will all be done by the time the museum starts running the polar express trains for the christmas season.
Karl, The link below shows the dimensions of railroad signage. Direct your attention to the image of the sign with the word "Joplin" for instructions on placement and materials for creating the name board for depots. http://www.frisco.org/shipit/index.php?threads/early-frisco-row-signs.8531/
Thank you kindly. Was starting to search and would have eventually stumbled upon it. Appreciate your assistance. Karl
Le Flore depot at ORM 4-19-2019 by Karl Stevenson posted Apr 20, 2019 at 1:21 AM More work completed on depot as more siding put on. West end of depot almost finished. Bay side and east end siding being installed and near finished. Back side still need siding. Refurbished waiting room doors with new handles and dead bolt locks in place. All windows in and final touches being done on them. Some painting of soffits etc. to be done and work finishing outside freight room door awaiting completion. Outside will soon be done and then the major interior work will be conquered next. Electrical service hookup should hopefully be completed soon and can get exterior lighting on for security and safety, but the lights will not be visibly apparent as wasn't something that depot had previously had but is needed. Will proceed with interior light and electrical outlets when interior work begins in earnest. That is all for now. Will update again soon.
