Re: Spitoons in use in Tweetsie country?
I'm sure SOMEONE would've still used these, though as to who, I couldn't tell you.

Spitoons in use in Tweetsie country?
Got these today from eBay. Those ashtrays were used in the 40s, though I'm not sure if spitoons were used that late. Does anyone know?
I mean, this is the area where people were still using outhouses as late as the 1970s and 80s... -- Lee Bishop Owner, Stoney Creek branch of the ET&WNC in On30 gauge

Always Gentleman Cy.
Tom Grabenstein
Always the perfect gentleman, Conductor Cy Crumley has stopped the train to see if Helga and Heidi need any assistance. Seems Mr Ford’s T model might be ailing. While its only a few miles more to Linville Depot, the reliable #11 is at the ladies disposal to help them in their hour of need. Thanks for looking. Doc Tom

Very nice. I like all the hardware ( brake lines, coupler lift bar) at the feet of the venerable Cy. Good job. Doc Tom

I repositioned my 3D print figure of Cy Crumley to where he really belongs, on a passenger car...

Very nice. I think you've done a fine job of capturing the scene at Cranberry. I especially like how you fit in the General Store. Like you I need mockups to better visualize because my mind thinks there's always more space than there is. Keep up the good work.

Re: Mock-up structures at Cranberry
Hi Dean, great to see you making progress on the layout. I really like the idea of mocking all this up before building.

Re: Mock-up structures at Cranberry

Tom,
I had pretty good success using a photo of a model as a
backdrop. I think I’ve posted this before, but I can’t find where I did, so I’ll
include it here. I didn’t have room for the Iron Furnace in Johnson City,
so I hit upon the idea of using a photo of the real furnace as a backdrop.
I didn’t have much luck, until I thought of using a photo of John Waite’s
furnace instead. Since it is a model, it seems to fit right in. I’m
not sure this will work in your case, but it’s an idea.

Thanks for sending these beautiful pictures out. I am saving them for planning
of my future build. I have room for the “ore concentrator” in O scale. It could
be that 2D backdrops are behind this with a large pile of tailings to tie it all
together.

I am happy with the operation, and the role of Cranberry Yard Master is a busy one during operating sessions. I also added ITT sound modules for the water tank and the ore concentrator, which are pretty neat. Not sure when I'll get the buildings done, but I already own the Cranberry Store Kit and have an order in for the Depot, so they may be built sooner than later. Thanks for looking.

Re: HO scale Cranberry depot

Looking to order one of these soon Ken. Do you know what the footprint of the depot in O scale is? Thanks

Hi Bill. Crepe paper might work particularly for some of the irregular/small shapes on the prototype. Thanks for the idea.
