Returning home after family vacation in Bellaire MI

Sat, Aug 7, 2021

Finally working on the RR after a great time in MI with family!

It took me 30 minutes just to cut out the parts to the fence.

Here you can see the various parts of the fence.
Note: I cut off the round parts of the fence.
I didn't like the look, because it looked too much like a cemetery fence rather than a RR fence.

More progress on cutting out the parts.

There we go.
All the parts are cut out and ready to be put together.

I laid out the fence pieces to see how they would fit.

Then I began Project #2.
Michael Ryan suggested I paint the side wall black.

Finished except for removing the border tape.

There you go.
Finished product.

Great suggestion Michael Ryan!
Looks great!

And NOW, back to Geneva station...

I'm gluing each section together and getting ready to put in place.

I used the tape to help transport each section to nearby Geneva Station.

The far side fence is in place with the glue setting.
I've drilled holes for the posts and filled them with glue for the near section.

What do you think? You like?

And here's the east section installed - glue setting up.

Ready for another project...

I'm continuing with my Father's Day gifts...
Here's the fence I will install at the Melrose Park Power Plant.

The fence will be three (3) sections long and become a barrier between the back alley and Track 6 of the Melrose Park Power Plant.

Here's how the fence looks like in place.

Another angle...

And finally, the last angle to see the newly installed fence.

This week's Project Progress...
