Small Stamp Mill

[cnrglen]

Thanks Guys. I've been working on finishing off the scene with the reefer car storage shed. It will be going to the left of the stamp mill, in front of the retaining wall.


I was looking around on Ebay and found the Seller River City Railroad who sells a lot of surplus MDC/Roundhouse kits and parts. He had an auction for 5 sets the roundhouse 36' reefer/boxcar ends and roofs. I thought I had the sides in my junk drawer so it would be an easy project.

However the sides were unsuitable so I scratchbuilt a new pair, using a Grandt Line reefer hardware set and hand-formed grab irons.

I also replaced all the grabs on the ends as well.

I found this little gem on ebay as well. It will bend both 15 and 17" grabs. I only paid a few bucks for it so it was well worth it.

Finally I glued all the walls and roof together. This is where it stands now. Next is paint, decals and weathering.
