Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy my site.

McCown Freight

I bought this Pola Freight House back in the eighties for my indoor layout.  

When I built my layout outside, it was one of the first buildings I put out.  

It’s weathered a bit over the years and it seemed a little too tiny for the traffic I wanted to generate. Bob McCown runs LargeScaleCentral and it seemed appropriate to name a freight house after him.

The windows and doors looked close to 1:20, so I decided to keep it and see what I could do to make it look larger.

The siding where it is located is rather skinny, so I just made it longer.

The roof is made from acrylic sheet and was covered with cedar shake shingles.  

It took about 4 hours to complete the individual roof shingles, but I really like the look.
