Model railroader resources

[Randy Stahl]

I have the CD set of model railroader magazine but I can't find an index of drawings. Im looking for a drawing of the TMER&L four winds waiting shelter. I'm not sure if there is one in MR but I'd like to find a drawing nontheless.

Check this out:

Model Railroader - October 1965 - Waiting Shelter With Cuspate Roof On The TMER&L Co. - page 37

Alternatively, and more obscurely (I don't know if this has the shelter you're looking for):

NMRA Bulletin - July 1980 - TMER&L Co. Shelter

If you'd rather build a kit than scartchbuild, Rindt's Relics (http://www.rindtsrelics.com) makes a model of the shelter in N/HO/O scales.

Thank you very much !

 

But how did you find it ?

I used a searchable model railroad magazine index from the NMRA: http://www.olimpia.com:8084/IntroPage.html

Thanks, Markgro.  I'd never heard or seen that word "cuspate" before, and indeed, one of my always-at-hand dictionaries doesn't show it at all, while another shows the word as "cuspidal" (ending in a point) or as "cuspidate" or "cuspidated" (having a sharp point).

It's always good to learn something new.

The same root word is behind "cuspid" (or "canine teeth") and explains my starring role in a kindergarten pagent where we were dressed as white teeth (same costume as being a ghost most likely).

My job is to bite

And if you will brush me

I'll do my job right."
