Fort Legoredo - modular Civil War military base - 6769 / 6762 MOD - main
This is an updated and enlarged form of sets 6769 / 6762, (Fort Legoredo) with new parts and some modifications to the original set. These new parts include 15 cannons which oddly are missing in the original sets.
I have heavily modified this model by adding Technic pins to hold the sections together, and by filling in the gaps in the wooden walls. The jail cell has also been enlarged and opened up for play-ability, plus a train platform had bee placed at the secondary gate for loading and unloading soldiers and equipment. The yellow flag is supposed to have this print: www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=2335pb107... while the blank spaces made of headlight bricks are to have printed 1 x 1 tiles reading "Fort Legoredo". The Union troops occupying this fort come from the Lone Ranger theme sets 79106 (Calvary Builder) and 79111 (Constitution Train Chase).
Fictional background info:
Built in 1862 to protect the Union gold fields of California from the potential of Confederate marauder attacks and the angry Native Americans who owned the land the fort sits on, this military complex was named after it's first commander and later advocate for the transcontinental railroad to pass by the fort: Edward "Sparks" Legoredo. The fort was later made a central part of the town of Fort Legoredo and the subsequent mining operation in the Raindance Ridge area
