Previously I post here asking some questions about the Winlock WA NP Depot. At that time it was requested that I post some pictures of the model that I am building of the depot. I have finally obtained pictures and have posted them in a new Rail Images album.

The pictures show the current state of the model as of last Saturday. The model features individual cedar shingles and custom made laser cut windows, doors and roof support brackets.

Complete plans, instructions, and a set of the custom laser cut items will be offered for sale in the near future. A price has not been determined. All profits will go to the Lewis County (WA) Model Railroad Club which is located inside the Lewis County Historical Museum that resides in the former Chehalis NP Depot.

This is an HO scale model?

Very nice to see those colors again. They were an excellent combination.

:D

When ready to go, be certain you announce it on the NP Modelers Yahoo Group.

When it is ready to go, I plan to announce it here on Trainboard, NP Telltail group, NP Modelers Group, Roadroad Line forum, and any other place that I get recommendations for.

It might be a little longer than I planned. I started installing the shingles on the roof 3 days ago and I have only managed to get 6 rows done. I still need to build the freight doors, install exterior lights, make signs, build the brick loading platforms and sidewalks, and finally install the train order board.

I am hoping to be finished by the end of April but that is definitely NOT a promise.
