Haven't got picture exactly like what DCRfan has mentioned. But the style he has done is very common also in Australia during the logging days. But a very close version is the following which is one of the Stockmans shacks in the Victorian hi-country which southpass mentions. Many of them may have been burnt down due to the recent large fires in the area! These are certainly not used to smoke fish however! :lol:

I'm figuring there are a lot of high speed winds in the area. Small outlet at the top to keep the draft from sucking the windows and doors in. Another bit of evidence is the wind break on the right end of the porch. Keeps the wind from blowing G'ma down the road.

Spent a few hours with a bread knife and a hot glue gun making a box designed to carry and display the layout.

Luckly a monthly pallet sized delivery of medical supplies provides a ready supply of cardboard

I plan to add inner walls diagonally across the corners to provide storage pockets and increase rigidity of the structure.

Setting up the control for the single set of points has been frustrating. After realising the throw of the blades was more than the movement of the standard electrical switch I was using to switch power and control the blades a call from Gavin last night put be on the right track. It sure doesn't look pretty but it works.

Now to figure out the camouflage.

neat solution :!:

It is all to do with levers

A hollow pile of logs on top os the switch or a scrub bush infront of it
may be possoble solutions.
Is the switch blade hinged, and if so is it on top of the sleeper. :?:

I've decided the open fronted shed looked a little too contrived and unprototypical so the front is being walled in and fair few new ferns planted but they just seen to get swallowed up.

The porch on the front of the building (photo with dog

) would be a nice compromise. You are going to need a lot of ferns to cover all that ground :cry:

Could you fake some in the middle and just use the detailed ones near the edges?

The cardboard shanty hut and head office of the as yet named Silverpine Company has gone (or it fell down, I'm not saying :lol:

) to be replaced by this bright shiny new portable sawmill :wink:
