The flooring is 1” x 10” lum-
ber and after drying was
stained using Builders in Scale
Silverwood. I placed 6” x 6”
at the corners, and installed
Grandt Line 5131 doors,
along with a four-over-four
window from my scrap box.
I painted the entire struc-
ture boxcar red. The roofing
material for this and all of
the other support structures
is BTS French shingles. These
diamond-shaped shingles
were common on Broad Top
area structures, so you will
see them used consistently
for the other structures in
this series.
After applying them to thin
scrap scribed siding, I painted
the roof black and installed it.
Next time we’ll look at the
other support structures and
how they relate to the overall
operation of the Jollar tipple.
