    Moose Model Works (TM) designed a sky walk for the brewery this morning. It will provide an enclose area to move materials between the main building and the kiln...

    And the Mooseland (TM) construction crew started building it straight away!

    The Moose Model Works (TM) designers teamed up with the Mooseland (TM) construction crew to build the other smaller brewery sky bridge. Yeah!

    This bridge will provide an enclosed area to move materials and finished product between the main building and the packaging and shipping building to the west.

    The bridge:

    The brewery complex with the second sky bridge barely visible between the left and center brewery buildings:

    And a view of the sky bridge looking south from the town of Oban:

    Moose added window ledges, rail-side loading dock ledge, crown for the lower two levels and arched structural supports ... Moose now officially mental from breathing all those liquid cement fumes!
    :confused:

    It took all day, but the ten corners of the main brewery building are now dressed up with quions. Moose exhausted!

    Moose decided to give the Brewery's shipping building similar treatments as the Brewery's main building has received:

    Moose made a pair of stairs for the exterior doors. This was only a test at first, but maybe with some putty and sanding, they just might do the job in the end...

    Moose has been working on the warehouse, mostly reinforcing the walls and trying to get them square. Added a floor (not shown) where it will be exposed over the railroad track below. Added the quions to the corners. Running low on materials so may put a stopper in this project for now.

    Moose been fiddling with different ideas for a portable horse ramp design for Oban yard. Decided to start fabricating one to get a better impression of how these might work.

    This shows a double ramp with ~ 4 foot side rails. Both halves of the ramp would be hinged at the center, with one half's end resting on the ground, the other half's end lifting up to rest on the edge of the car floor.

    Moose still considering how to fabricate the frame & wheels that will support the ramps and allow them to be moved about the loading area.

    I am always impressed by your building efforts Mr. Moose. As far as the ramp, I have seen like 30'-35' flat bed trailers with side rails and a hinged flap that folds into the car. These would work for unloading boxcars too in unimproved locations. Anyways, just a thought.

    I would make it more like a two wheeled trailer. With the lower section longer. The upper would be shorter and hinged. With poles in an L position attached and at the top a rope running back to a winch at the hitch end of the trailer.
    I have seen such in a small town yard years ago.

    @gjslsffan @Shortround

    Tom, thank you very much for kind words and thank you both for ideas on horse ramps.

    And now for something completely different...

    Mrs. Moose finished tiling roof ... ... ... on passenger station. Yeah! :) Moose really really really happy with how these came out! :cool:

    Unfortunately, due to slight scheduling error on Moose's part, depot is not otherwise finished: still need to finish painting and then install windows and doors.
    :cautious:

    Mooseland (TM) construction crew appears to be nearly finished with construction of the brewery shipping building, including roof-top structure for elevator equipment & roof access stairwell.
    :)

    However, the roof is not complete. Only temporarily placed the 400 grit sandpaper that will serve as roofing material...

    Any ideas on what should also be on a 1930s era industrial building's roof?
    :unsure:

    The Woodland Scenics Roofers? It was tar in the 1930's, right?

    Moose finished-ish the main brewery building for now. Sill needs a door that went missing and some roof details. All will likely possibly maybe have to wait until nasty naughty weather comes again...
