Old Mill sorting floor and lower deck

The next 2 decks on the Pino Mill are the sorting floor deck and the lower deck of the Old mill floors
Both can be seen here fitted to the raised old mill deck. The lower deck fits into the square void of the upper or elevated deck and the sorting deck sits to the right. These were fairly easy to construct and completes the old mill minus the machinery, pulleys, wires, chains etc which will bring this portion alive.
Before leaving this section I'll get bare wood restained as needed..
After that, I need to take some undocumented time out and works on a couple of loco items which John Gibson has installed sound. Mostly decaling and renumbering is in order and a ladders and railings reinstalled.
That along with getting all the castings primered for this project, repaint a brass tender so John can get the Tsunami decoder I bought for that installed. I imagine it will take a couple of weeks....and I'll be back after that with the New Mill build. That will be interesting as its paint on top of stain showing lots of age. The techniques I 'll use for that will be explained then.  See you Soon! And thanks for reading.
