My next model will be a small 2 story wood structure with an attached garage. Not sure yet what it will be but I will figure that out as I progress. It will be some sort of an industry or business.

Locomotive water crane
While deciding what to model next I built an HO locomotive water crane from a Durango Press kit I acquired many years ago. Not sure where I will install this but it was a simple kit with poor instructions. I made a few modifications. Under the platform is a series of metal pipes which are not visible - kind of a waste though I made the platform section on the near side liftable if you actually want to see the pipes.
To the left of the water column is a control wheel, and on this end of the base is the end of the pipe that presumably connects to a water source.
Above is a picture of a reefer icing platform located in Salisbury Maryland vintage 1922, Just something else to round out this post.
My next model will be a small 2 story wood structure with an attached garage. Not sure yet what it will be but I will figure that out as I progress. It will be some sort of an industry or business.
