    Mike, are those phone shacks? Are they resin cast scratchbuilt or 3D printed?

    Yes they are SP phone shacks and are Cast Resin and pre-painted and ready to use. They are like this one at a museum in Wilcox Arizona but with a wood door.

    We managed to get this one moved to the museum in Rosenberg when the KCS rebuilt the old Macaroni line. Those dudes are HEAVY.

    It is amazing how many of the survived out on the line and I am sure it was because of the unique build design.
    The UP is slowly removing them all as well as most line-side stuff.

    ...and the weight has probably helped keep them around as well.

    I'm glad these are available...
    Sunrise used to make a beautiful version, cast in white metal...
    these look almost as good.

    Here is another one. We brought in the proper machine to move one from the old site of the Texas Railroading Heritage Museum to the new site in Tomball, Texas. The pointed roof was removed first to make it a little lighter.
