Structures of the Bekin United Railroad (BURR)
My philosophy on structures for this, my first, layout is to build simple plastic structures first and then replace them down the road with high quality structures. I have acquired many Fine Scale Miniature structure kits and plan on building a few of the them for this layout.
I have built a few structures in the past and have completed a couple of Campbell wooden kits also. Up until this point, I have built all of my kits per the instructions.
I have described each kit that I am building below:
Yard Module
| Turntable - While not really a structure, I put it in here because of the weathering requirement and the assembly needed before it can be placed on the layout. |
|
| Freight House - This is the Tyco Freight Station Model #7785B. I hope that when I am done with it that it will look quite different than the picture on the box. |
|
| Engine House - This is the Walthers 2-Stall Engine House Model #933-3007. I added a wooden floor to replace the stock floor. Other then that it is a stock kit. |
|
| Water Tank - This is the Atlas Water Tower Kit Model #703. This is built exactly like the plans suggest. |
|
| Sand & Fuel Depot - This is the IHC Sand & Fuel Depot Model #3506. This will also be built stock from the plans with the exception of weathering and paint schemes. |
|
