Icing platform scene complete
#1
Last night I finished me icing platform and installed it on the layout.
Those of you that saw the earlier photos will notice that I added a roof to the platform which I think adds to the platform.
The only thing that is missing are some blocks of ice.
Anyway,here is the finished scene

Nice work ... can you slide in a little closer and give us an "up close and personal" shot or two? It's looking really nice ... but I want to SEE it!!

Hmm. Little chunks of plexiglas for ice blocks? Very creative work there!

Our National Newspaper had a story on ice today with some interesting historic information.

Thanks for the replies and comments. I appreciate them.
I'll see what I can do about some close up shots.
I'm not sure what I'm going to use for ice blocks.
As a point of interest there was an article in this months issue of MR about cleaning,pre-cooling and icing reefers.It is part one in a series but this first part illustrates what I was trying to do here.

Bob, Tichy offers ice blocks, along with a lot of other very interesting stuff. You'll have to scroll down quite a ways for the ice.

I wonder if you could fashion ice blocks from clear glue sticks for a hot glue gun. Slice off small sections and square them up?
