Thanks for the kind words of encouragement guys! 
I've been very happy with the progress so far. In this pic, I have trimmed this part as well, which completes most of the major modifications. Originally, the tipple had 3 loading bays, and now there are only 2 and it's much shorter as well. The support beams have also been trimmed down to 2 sections instead of 3. Most of the roof panels have yet to be trimmed and I will also be modifying the slack loader to be smaller.
Next, I will finish working putty into the corner seams and then giving the structure a good cleaning before paint.
