“LTL Freight Transfer Co.” project…

Here’s a small structure I’m building…I borrowed heavily from a series of photos I found on a British model rail forum for most of the design...

The best description of the construction would be “coarse scale”…it's sized it to go with my Marx tinplate and post-war Lionel...the base measures about 4 ½” x 6 ½"...it's 6” tall at the peak...

It’s made entirely from cereal box cardboard, corrugated cardboard, recycled express mailing box cardboard, cardstock and a few match sticks…that’s just a temporary sign on the roof…there’s still a lot detailing, painting and finishing to do…

Colors?…probably “galvanized grayish” walls and truck side doors…“barn and implement red” roof…“farm green” track side doors…“creosote brown” foundation walls…

I also have to make the small office building that goes along side the building on the right of the truck side…more about it later…

My very best regards…
