This picture shows the Lineman’s Shack that Chuck Whitlock constructed.  The materials were a door and a window from some other project and “planks” made using a bandsaw.

Lineman’s shack and outhouse

The outhouse does have a history. It was constructed by me whilst I was incarcerated in Stanford Cancer Clinic. I was bored out of my skull whilst in isolation for six weeks. To keep me from climbing the walls the doctors kindly allowed me to build the “biffy”. I made it all except the toilet holder and the toilet roll. These were made by the head of the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit who followed the construction process with avid interest!!!!!!! The minion? Well they are everywhere on the layout – donated, bought, made with a 3D printer. We do have a sound card for the Minions singing. Alas we do not have a sound card for the Outhouse.
