Again, I’ve got the idea from Harry Brunk’s book “Up Clear Creek on The Narrow Gauge”. And like with the stock yard I’ve used some Northeastern stripwood, this time mainly 2’’ x 6’’ and 8’’ x 8’'. The tar paper roof is made from stripes of paper, painted black.

Wolfgang,
Great work! The coloring is terrific.

Excellent modeling. Color and proportions are great. How long did it take you from start to finish?
I’ve stained the stripwood before cutting. I reworked the cut ends after gluing. I took me about three evenings. And one evening for a drawing and estimating the size. [:)] There’s only a picture in the book.

If anyone remembers the article in December 1979 MR mag about the coal dock in up state New York…it was two tracks wide and 330+ feet long.
I have been working on a model of that very same building in HO scale off and on for the past 3 years.
