Blast from the past
Several years ago my crippled creek station was smashed by a tree limb putting all the walls into 2 or 3 pieces. I dug them all out and after a little bit of puzzle making I had 4 walls, in pieces, but all the parts were there minus the chimney. After some serious gluing and clamping, filling in the cracks with testors body fill, I was ready for paint, choosing yellow okra as it was a very popular color back in the day, it is actually international harvester machine yellow. Was missing windows, boarded that one up also freight area doors, made a interior box in place of so I could show produce, mutton on 1 window frame was broken, so when I install the window pane I broke it in the same place (damn kids I told them not to play baseball there), made and smoke stack out of tubing and secured it with wire to the roof, and made up 1 door also made a new loading dock out of styrene. Some of the produce are from eBay, cucumbers I made from rice and crates are from styrene. Oranges are from lava beads painted with orange, yellow and green spray paint. Put some fruit decals on the building. UD's produce is for uncle Daniel who was a plumber and my brother in law and he thought he was the world's greatest gardener but the only thing I ever saw him grow was nut grass, my he RIP
