Fine looking structure Steve. A great asset to your RR. The only comment I have is about the luxury of toilet tissue used. Over here it could well be torn up newspapers. :happy:

Don't forget to make a ventilation hole near the top of the door. I believe that a star or crescent moon shape was the style on private privvies - don't know what the railroad equivalent might have been.

also these doors dont quite close flush with the frame at either the top or bottom (for added ventilation)

his other single privvy has such a crescent moon cut out
