Acme Ice House and Platform - Cardstock Kit

Classic Toy Trains Forum
1

I designed a simple cardstock model of a generic Ice Platform and Ice House to use with the short Lionel milk car and the 6472 reefer.

Each platform can handle one car; platforms can be lined up end-to-end to handle multiple cars.

Hi-railers might find it useful as a placeholder for an Atlas O or craftsman kit.

Brady,

That’s a neat ice platform and storage house, for the reefer cars.

I’ve seen photos. of ice platforms, like yours, icing a string of reefers.

Your use of the ice house, with it’s long loading platform and reefers, is what I want to do, but I never saw a long ice platform for sale, until now. I have the Lionel version, but it’s platform is shorter, as you know.

Thank You,

Ralph

Very Nice platform, I think I’ll try it on my layout

Your ice platform really adds a lot of interest in a minimal amount of space. Nicely done. [tup]

Thank you for sharing this - I like working with cardstock. THe loading ramp looks nifty too.
