A Station, An Office, A Storage Shed, A Mill, and a Trestle

The station with the roof removed, showing the tiny waiting area 5' X 10' with stove and trophy fish on the wall. The agent sells tickets from his tiny space of 5' X 10' through the opened Dutch door. Made of styrene and Grandt Line windows and doors. |
 |
Here is the station and the platform, showing the roof removed and the main door "off the hinges." Platform built from crossties. An outhouse sat at the far end but was destroyed when the station was packed in a box and moved across town. |
| This is a small yard office built from HO styrene siding, two Grandt Line square windows and a GL door. It does not have an interior and the door is missing, leaving only the frame. The intention was to build an interior and then place the office on a wooden platform. |  |
 |
This O scale boxcar was to become a low budget junk storage shed. Vertical wood siding was planned, along with a couple of windows, a door, and a two large opening doors. The ends are cast metal and the roof is stamped tin; the floor and sides are basswood. |

This mill was on my layout, covering the inner and outer corner of a wall. It was built from foam core board, then 2 X 4's were glued on on 2' centers. The window spaces were cut out. Paint was one of the Floquil RR colors of yellow, with heavy weathering. It did not survive being removed from the layout. The sign was made on an inkjet printer.

I consider this the best model I ever built. It started with plans from Mainline Modeler and came to form as an O standard gauge coal trestle. I regauged the Code 125 rail to 30" gauge after I started in On30". During the planning of the layout shown in the picture, a heavy metal shelf fell on it. The damage was so bad I did not rebuild it.
