Print it out and then just take pictures of it until you have the right size. My pictures came out of an old history book.If you want to see what they looked like they are posted in the new model contest that says "this one is for a prize".

For the drawings I entered in the model contest I used my digital camera to take pictures of the original from different distances. I then printed them out on the poorest quality. I found one on which the door measured out at 7" on the scale rule. I used that picture to take my measurements...

Hi Deckroid. Here are the pictures of the Campbells stockyards. Dave Barron from Sierra Scale model built and weathered this kit and has kindly given me permission to post his pictures. Sorry they aren't a bit clearer but had to take them off of the pictures I had as I somehow missplaced the...

That sounds like an even better idea. Keep em comin guys. Thanks. Ron

I've checked out all the plastic stuff. Campbells comes the closest. SS Ltd has some that are fairly close in cast metal also. I was thinking of changing them all to the SSltd windows but there are so many would cost a fortune.Was hoping perhaps someone knew where there was some old stock...

I'm not sure how many pieces there are to that kit.It isn't to challenging. The walls are in three or four sections each. The hardest part I found was making the railings. The shingles are real cedar shingles applied one at a time and weathered dark grey. I get them from Dave Barron at Sierra...

Campbell Scale Models M.E. Nelson Livestock Company is a really nice wood kit. It sells for around $70.00. You can also get cattle loading pens and stockpens with double shutes. I have built some campbell kits and the quality is excellent. I haven't built the stockpens but have seen it built and...

Hi. I was wondering if any of you know where I can get these windows for a Keystone Bandsaw mill. I need 3 large and 1 small window. The kit I have is missing them and I don't think keystone produces them any more. At least I haven't seen them listed with their other items. Any help would be...

My second entry is a livery stable that belonged to my Grandfather and Great Grandfather in the 1920s. This is the only known picture of this building. It was originally red with white trim and roof. Ron

I think they were leased to the Thompson Seed Co. in Blenheim, Ont. I have some pics of them at their terminal. Ron

This one is my favorite. #201 an MLW S13 fresh out of the paint shop. I am building this one right now out of a Proto 2000 S3. Ron

Hi Chad. Ontario Southland also purchased a few GE 44 Tonners from GWWD. I don't know if those are still in sevice though. Do you know how many RS23s they have?Ron.

Thanks TrainNut. Wish I had a CAD program and knew how to use it though. Took me three days to do up those drawings. Hopefully I will have time to do one more.This hotel was from a small town close to where I grew up and have some more neat buildings I would like to model.But figured if the...

Here are the drawings for the hotel. Thanks, Ron

My entry is based on this hotel built in 1897 and destroyed by fire in 1914. It would be nice to bring it back to life. This is the only picture I could find so I had to guess on what the other three sides looked like. I have to post this twice as there are 7 files and only six are allowed...

The railroads construction began on March 18, 1914 and was completed on December 10, 1914. After the completion the railway was used to haul equipment, workers and materials to the construction site at Indian Bay, the far end of the line.Later the railroad provided passenger and freight service...
