Hello Folks. I am searching for information, diagrams or photos of icing platforms. I am trying to model a platform that existed in Chattanooga TN. I know it was uncovered and around 650 feet long. Other than that?? If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Alan (Nashville, TN)
Take a look at this link: http://www.noelsbigfour.com/icePlatform01.pdf While he details building a large scale ice platform, you could easily use his ideas for any scale. Construction of most of these were pretty generic. I suppose the details would differ from railroad to railroad. Here is the O Scale icing platform at our club: http://roundhouseinc.org/album/A%20New%20Home%202000-/The%20O%20Gage%20Layout/The%20Icing%20Facility/index.html Walthers made and icing platform and ice house kit. I'm sure you could build it as an uncovered platform.
