Re: Fw: [S-Scale] sandhouse

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I'm glad somebody posted my photo from a few years ago.? It's almost the same now, including that guy slightly off kilter!? However, I put some white sand down around it, but I really don't like the effect as it looks like snowfall!? Yet the smaller sand facilities usually have lots of spillage lying about!?

BTW, PBL put out a very nice model of the Chama Sand house.? It's fairly large compared to the N&S house,? but remember Chama was a Division Point on the NG where they also pushed a lot of sand on the grades!

Those plans look just like the ones I have or had.? It was part of a collection from a current G scale guy by the name of John Emerson.? John now lives in Amarillo, Texas but once hung out with Bortz, Titman and the like.? He managed to acquire a lot of stuff, as an engineer, he moved to Saudi Arabia for several years in the oil business.? After returning to Houston, he sold everything locally then decided G was for him.? This sand house was part of that collection as well as the smaller coaling tower from Leigh Valley.?

I added the colored rolled roof covering, some weathering and fixed a couple of dislodged items.? It fits in a narrow area rather well.? I was surprised in that the door and windows are plastic rather then the soft-metal found in kits of that vintage.
