Since the camp is laid out in a “U” fashion all four sides are detailed and visible. Here is a rear view of the truck repair shop. It is completely detailed on the interior as well with a removable roof. You will notice in the various photographs the wide variety of different window shapes and styles. They have been designed to compliment the various wall and roofing materials for maximum effect and detail.

 

This corner shot of the boiler and welding shop displays the various siding used and the effective weathering applied. The five buildings range from very simple in appearance (the warehouse) to quite complex (like the boiler and welding shop). This variation gives Railroad Camp a truly unique look.

 

The small storage shed, main office and warehouse. A beautiful loading dock scene is created with the stone walls of the office and overhanging second story. The plain false front of the warehouse is evident with the simple freight door.

 

The back of the boiler and welding shop with two newly painted boilers awaiting transport to customers. The combination of the large rail doors and use of shingled siding provides a nice contrast to the other structures.

 

A great view of the loaded flat car (included) under the traveling crane. This diorama was designed over a period of time as the various structures were added and arranged. It has a tremendous amount of appeal and you will find it integrates quite nicely into the Deer Creek Lumber theme or any railroad related business. It has been difficult to choose the view that best illustrates how the Railroad Camp looks! All sides are highly detailed and cluttered with beautiful views and structures.

 

The storage shed is a great little structure with its tattered tarpaper walls. Notice the junk piled against the wall and the discarded tires on the roof. I have included two new types of castings in this kit like the long junk pile pictured above. These junk pile castings have literally dozens of tiny cast-in details, unlike any type of casting ever produced! The other junk pile is much larger and is tucked inside the main yard against the long wooden fence.
