I designed a simple cardstock model of a generic Ice Platform and Ice House to use with the short Lionel milk car and the 6472 reefer. Each platform can handle one car; platforms can be lined up end-to-end to handle multiple cars. Hi-railers might find it useful as a placeholder for an Atlas O or craftsman kit.http://www.lionellines.com/ and click on "Card Models"Brady Burdge
With two platforms
Brady,
That's a neat ice platform and storage house, for the reefer cars.
I've seen photos. of ice platforms, like yours, icing a string of reefers.
Your use of the ice house, with it's long loading platform and reefers, is what I want to do, but I never saw a long ice platform for sale, until now. I have the Lionel version, but it's platform is shorter, as you know.
Thank You,
Ralph
Brady,,
Very Nice platform, I think I'll try it on my layout

Your ice platform really adds a lot of interest in a minimal amount of space. Nicely done.
Thank you for sharing this - I like working with cardstock. THe loading ramp looks nifty too.
