More from the Union Hotel

Just a quick sample of the two versions of the Hotel. After completeing the brick version it just demanded a wooden one.

Thom, It looks perfect. You know I am a sucker for wood buildings but I can see the brick one finding a place on my layout too. Can't wait to see the rest of the structure.

Thom,

I am courious about the window and shutter arrangement on the Hotel. On the 2nd floor do I see four windows and seven shutters???

Your not the first to mention this but Thats how it is in the drawings and I'm stickin with it. I have seen this when decorative non function shutters are in use. I would think that since there aren't shutters on all the windows the intent is decorative.

I have been busy and have not started my test build yet.

What is confusing you all is what I think is a fire wall or inside support wall for that part of the Hotel. It sticks out one or two brick from the side of the building between the two center windows. The shuttles for those inside center windows do not lay flat against the building.

If you don't look at the drawings or the side of my model between the center windows close you will not notice that the shuttles overlap each other making them look sort of like one shuttle.

A-ha. Now we know. Bill, thanks for the explanation.
