I have decided what my next build project will be. It will be a hoist and derrick company. It will fill the remaining space on the wall between the Bolt & Nut company and the Frigid machinery company. I have made some rough drawings and started on one portion of the structure. The part of the hoist & derrick company that projects out closest to the layout edge will be a fenced yard for staging some of the machinery. That will give me the opportunity to build a derrick or two for display.

Narrow gauge gondola
This is a narrow gauge side dump gondola car from I believe the 1940's. This is from my father's collection and I believe it was in Hawaii. The old automobile and the white trousers (Navy uniforms) under the gondola car are the indicators.
And below is a (not so good) photo of a very short lived automobile called the Paragon.
In the early part of the 1900s every shop with machinist skills apparently tried to manufacture a car.
