N Scale Modular - SunkistThis pair of 4' modules flare out to 18" wide to give room for a citrus fruit processing and packaging plant and the supporting buildings which include icing docks. All the turnouts on these modules are hand-built, not commercial products and driven by "slow motion" point motors, replicating the speed at which real point blades move. One end of the module has a small-town scene with a road crossing and there’s a small station depot in the middle (the white stucco building centre-front). There are ninety-nine hand-made orange trees on the modules.
In the days before "Reefers" (refridgerated railcars) had mechanical refridgeration systems, the cars had lined "bunker" at each end into which large (200-400lbs/90-180Kg) "cakes" of ice were loaded through hatches in the roof from raised, covered platforms. |
