Model a Coal Silo

摘要

For several years a cardboard juice can served as the local coal dealer on my HO scale Connecticut & Vermont Railroad. With its wrap of brown Kraft paper for wooden siding, pencil lines for the seams and black marker lines for the hoops, the drab stand-in squatted anonymously in the center of town. I later found some Harold Russell plans and photos for a concrete block coal silo in Elmira, N.Y. (Mode! Railroader, March 1982), that would fit the scene perfectly.
