Part 1: The above video begins the three part project for the N-Scale ATSF Freight House at Union Station.  The first part describes the overall project, plans for improving the structure, and why the one of the two sidings (track, cork roadbed, & track feeder) for the building has to be moved. The Freight House was created by kitbashing two Woodland Scenics (#51000) Trackside Transfer Kits.

 

Part 2: The second part describes the steps taken to change out the existing Peco Electrofrog RH #4 turnout for a LH #4 turnout and move one of the sidings.  This work was required in order to provide 125 mm of depth that was needed for the completed ATSF Freight House (from trackside dock to roadside dock) to fit between the table edge & the sidings. The final portion shows a DCC test completed by moving two boxcars through the new turnout into each siding.

 

Part 3: The last part shows the completed ATSF Freight House Project. The building is painted, loading docks & associated roofs are 3D printed & installed, Just-Plug lighting is installed & tested, and dock workers installed. The building is then placed back onto its location on the layout at Union Station.

 

The decals were designed in PowerPoint & printed on Testors decal paper.  The signage on the building was based upon the ATSF Freight House at Dearborn Terminal. The entire building and icing docks received a wash of Testors liquid dullcoat.
