Loading Platform

The milk car behind the loading platform I scratch-built back in the 1980's when I first got into modeling. Back then I did not have a lot detail parts available other than what I could find in the Model Railroad magazines of the time. No internet or well stocked hobby shops to help back then,
I was in the process of finishing an article for RMC when I found my shot of a loading platform I built for my HOn30" transfer yard. These could be found throughout New England in milk service and thought it would be nice to include. I actually set it up for all loading but with milk in mind...George Dutka
