The sandhouse was indeed from the original Norfolk Southern, located at their yard in Norfolk. ?Attached is a photo I shot of the prototype in January 1974, shortly after the Norfolk Southern was absorbed by the Southern Railway.
?
The sandhouse kit was originally produced by the Potomac Valley S Gaugers. ?I remember a meeting where we all sat around my kitchen table and drew outlines of the wall sections using templates and ball point pens. ?Later Frank Titman made this kit part of this extensive line of S scale building kits.
?
I have also attached a copy of the plans included in the PVSGA kit.
