Stock chutes underway
Had a some other things to do for a few days - rearranging the garage and getting rid of stuff we don't even remember buying or using. Put up some shelves and we are DONE. So today back building the S scale stock pens and chutes. The blip will be the three "sides" of the inclined chutes that get the cattle or sheep up into a stock car - or out of same. The bottom piece gets glued to the one just above it once that one drys.
The double chute had a high ramp for the second level in sheep cars - for the sheep. The lower chute is for the cattle in a single level car or sheep for the lower level on a sheep car. Hadn't planned on having sheep and cattle but I think I will - have a cowboy/sheepherder figure to paint so will buy many sheep.
Nice kit to build - especially with the template drawing for this step and all the included photos. Lots of posts to cut and glue. Banta (maker) even included a nice block of wood to get the posts even and later to build the chutes. All fun so far. I think the kit is out of production but if you want one write Banta.
