Trackside Structures Photos
This small coaling derrick was built by L. Smith for his L & J Railroad in Australia.
Small setups like this were used on branch lines, Coal was brought in and removed from an ore car by shoveling & the bucket, then the same method was used to fill the locomotive tender, man-power was cheap then!
L. Smith also built this handcar shed. It can be built this way, with double doors for handcar access, or with a single man door as a tool shed.
To the left is a speeder shed built by I. Galbraith for his layout in New Zealand.
The speeder shed on the right is an enlargement of our plans, it was built for the P&VA live steam railroad which is to 1:7 scale.
These small building help to complete the scene on any railroad. they are simple to build and add realistic details.
