| Snipped from a larger photo in RMC June '74 |
Scratchbuilding a creamery did not fit into the schedule of Jobs To Be Done on the layout, so I looked over my accumulation of plastic building kits to see what could be modified to do the job. I finally selected the AHM "Gruesome Casket Company" kit and modified it as shown in the photographs and sketches.
Chuck Yungkurth explains his choice of base kit for a creamery build in Milk trains, milk cars and creameries in the June '74 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman.
Last night I was reading some Bill Schopp articles and came across that conversion of the Machine Shop end of E. L. Moore's Gruesome Casket Company. The conversion was just a small part of a larger story about the railroad milk industry. Another example of the ubiquity of these kits.
Chuck seems to have solved the 'problem' of the stair-stepped windows on the long side by thoughtfully placing the large sliding door over one and some sort of ventilator over the the other.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there is a door on the other side, given that the building is between a pair of tracks.
