Roy-
What era is the module? For drawings of the old B&O rolling mill in Cumberland MD, see http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query. Do a query for "Cumberland rolling mill". The rolling mill, torn down in 1981 and now a shopping center, was used by the B&O to recycle old steel. One of those angular cast iron supports you'll see at the bottom corners of the transverse section was up on eBay a short while back as a "garden piece". The transverse section is almost 100' across and faced the Williams St. yard. The longitudinal section is over 200' long. I have a paper catalog from Westport Model Works that shows a lot more than what is offered at their website Perhaps one of these might be a good standin for wheel factory. http://www.westportmodelworks.com/modular_drawings.htm I have a photo from a Morning Sun book (Chessie color guide, I think) that shows a huge lot of wheelsets in front of a low profile building. I can scan and send if desired. If you are contemplating a modernish building, you might want to consider Rix Pikestuff products. True, the stuff is HO but S scale doors and windows can be utilized. http://www.rixproducts.com/pikestuff_listing.htm Speaking of Rix Products, I asked Rick Rideout ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) a while ago if he would consider adding S scale (at least S doors and windows would be nice) to the Pikestuff line and he said maybe if interest was there. If anyone is indeed interested, let him know and show him the money. :-) Stan Furmanak Annville, PA ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Roy Inman Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 9:35 AM To: S-Scale; S-trains Subject: {S-Scale List} FW: Wheel factory in S ---------- From: Roy Inman <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:rinphoto%40everestkc.net> > Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 08:34:13 -0500 To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:buildingsandstructures%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: Re: Wheel factory in S Good morning all :) Need some suggestions for the following. We want to build a false front structure for one of the modules on our S train show layout. It will be a rail car wheel factory. We have the wheelsets and track and can get photographs of a local factory we can use as our prototype. What I am hoping for is either (1) a kit, either wood or cardstock of the false front building that would sort of resemble this single story, long structure or (2) plans in any scale that we can enlarge or reduce to build from scratch. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated.
