Hi list,
I'm new to this list and want to introduce myself. Some people on this
list may know me already from the different Santa Fe list.
My name is Alain Kap and I live in Luxembourg, Europe. I'm modeling
different Santa Fe locations and structures for my layout and my modules,
some also for fun or challenge. As Southern California is one of my main
places of interest, I cannot come by the citrus industry and its related
facilities.
One project I'm in currently is the depot of Capistrano and its
surrounding buildings/industries etc. South of the depot is what I suppose
a packing house. I could not locate any information or picture about what
kind of brand it packed (Sunkist or ????). On a photo I think to see 2
reefers side by side. How was the track arrangement at the packing house,
siding, stub ended tracks. What did the packing house look like. I will
only need a track side shot as space considerations limit it to a half
relief building.
Packing Houses usually had large Signs of their brandnames painted on the
building. Are there any of these signs available that are suitable to
print out and apply to a model structure. I'm particularly thinking of the
Sunkist sign.
Any help will be appreciated.
