R1 passanger platform and milk platform

[John Busby]

Hi all
Does any one know if any of the manufactures ever produced
a small passanger platform that suits LGB 1100 curves
also a milk platform that would be OK with LGB trains
I think I have found a spot for a very short branch line where I can get rid of most of the R1 curves I have but the stations (Depots) have to be small
and on curves or it just will not fit.
We are quite literaly talking max train length of what comes in an LGB start set plus on extra car
regards John

Sounds like it's time for a little bit of timber and/or a concrete mix John. On the curve I would be tempted to make a mould out of styrene and fill it with concrete and scribe in some details, flags, edging etc. The milk platform would look good in timber as a bit of contrast to the concrete.
Cheers,
Kim

Hi Kim
Looks like its back to the magazine mountain to see if one of them has a drawing of a milk platform that should not be hard to make.
Hmm, tin shed or something equaly simple for passanger shelter should just about do it
That just leaves the end of the line to think about that will need something for a station.
The disk cutter to make the triangle just in case it dont quite work out with comercial track..
Now where did I see the wiring diagram for that one way triangle wonder what sized springs I will need for the points.

Bridgemasters sells a nice prebuilt shed and loading dock for a straight siding for your milk shed. I think for R1 station installation the best option would be getting redwood or cedar woodstrips and build it yourself .

Hi Vic
Do you mean the open sided warehouse or the compressor shed??

I was thinking of the warehouse since it has the raised platform.

Hi Vic
To big for the milk platform but it would make a very nice goods shed for the
end of the branch line[:D]
Some one Emailed a nice just right milk platform so I will have to find out who does ties so I can build it.
Off back to Bridgmasters for a real good look at what they make the coal staithes could come in handy as well.
