New Structure Kit Announcement
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 23, 2004 3:13 PM
Hi Gang, this is to announce a new HO scale structure kit for Squawbottom Station. A copy of the station from John Allen's famous Gorre & Daphetid railroad. Here is the address for the web page. http://www.pinecanyonscalemodels.com/squawbottom_station.htm The kits will start shipping by the end of next week.
Happy Railroading, Keith

Its Rockbottom, not Squawbottom. Not exactly like the one on the G&D. Best we could do from pics.

Wasn't Squawbottom on the Fiddletown & Copperopolis ?

We decited that it is best to use a name that we have had for over 40 years and not cause conflict. Apparently some G&D fans don't want us to use the name. Many people have asked us to produce other structures from this layout. But we don't have enough info to do it. I had the opportunity to photograph the station over 30 years ago and worked from these pics. The pics that were on our web site were taken at that show.
Happy Railroading, Keith
