The Memorial Collection

[Wesley Myers]

Okay, I had some extra time with the kids swimming in our pool so I went through another of the tubs. 

This one has a lot of roof pieces in it.

Before the roof pieces, however, this has some other stuff on top.



Some roof pieces for the western set:



However, there is that little peaked roof piece that I do not know what it is from.  Any ideas.   

I`m pretty sure it is the Snake River Ranch building because the doors were originally blue but painted black.

Now a peak into the tub to see what is left:

[Wesley Myers]

Here are some round tower roofs that were in there:

Therefore, as two of them would be for the 3666`s does that mean that there are five 7175 round towers.   



There are a lot of roof gable ends ...



There are 10 open sided double width roof sections.

2 of them would be for the two 3666`s and one would be for the 3716 farm.  That leaves 7.  What could they be for.     7109 Medieval house or 7145 Medieval barn.  So how many of each will there be...

The other shelf for the pottery rack was in the bottom of the tub so on it went:



Seven tubs for each of the Old Houses.  I think the barn (3443) is part of this but I`m not sure yet.  I will need to find another sold wall piece.  However, there are parts I am not sure about. 



There are a few extra of part 30 02 8410,  "Framework wall, open, 3 units wide".  So what are these for.

Think it could be from an outdoor feeder..

[Tiermann]

Yes that seems most likely
30 06 6730 - Feeder for animals, roof

There's always the possibility they picked up random used lots as well or even bought parts from DS, so not every building piece may match up with a standard set.

Starting a new thread is an excellent idea, Wesley.

That is a wonderful haul - you've been extremely fortunate in adding it to your collection.

I think people may be holding their breath to see how the dishwasher experiment went.  Did you use a low temperature setting?

You've got a long job sorting everything out but please do keep us updated with photos, including a final one of everything assembled and set out, please.

If at the end you have any of the single sections of red tiled roof needing a home, I'd be interested in giving them one.

Yes that is it!!!

Thank you.  The feeder is there and so are lots of deer and rabbits but no hunting stands or elk so it must be the 3692.

Thank you.

I have been thinking about setting it all out at once and have been wondeirng WHERE I could do this.  LOL 

The girls came up with idea of setting up outside but I don`t want to lose any pieces in the lawn.  We don`t have enough dirt area to set up in (and I`m worried about losing anything in the dirt).  We have enough sand but same thing...  even though it is very very fine sand and packs like dirt.  There`s room in the basement but e are suppose to be renovationg.  slowly ...

I`ll be honest, I`m holding my breath too, but about what all is in the haul.

the painted taps on the big barrels are a very nice touch.

There are a few extra of part 30 02 8410,  "Framework wall, open, 3 units wide".  So what are these for. 

you mean, other than the ones that go to the pottery house, town hall, blacksmith, barn, inn, and the museum?

Yes.

So I am sure there is the barn (there is another gabled end with the small wooden door so that fits with the barn.

I am thinking there may be two inns.  I am not sure though yet.  Remember that extra sign.  `Ratskeller`  That must go somewhere.
