The Nj HiRailers now have another brewery starting to take shape  T( Boy I wonder why we like breweries so much )  This one was a kit from Harry Heike - Everything O Scale and constructed by Alex Mallaie    This was a regional brewery that was purchased by Rheingold in their heyday.

I have already done a brewery from kitbashed Korber kits, but wish I had before

had a book that floated in this week, "Brewing in Trinidad, Colorado", that records some of the history of the Philip Schneider Brewing Co. and "Century" Beer (for which Atlas did a reefer).  It shows some good shots of the Schneider brewery, which as of 1992, was there and standing.....hope it still is, although it was in a realtor's hands.  Would like to get there and shoot some photos from all angles.   They lasted until

1957, so like some of the trains I could have rode and didn't, I could have gotten

to Trinidad and seen it in operation. There are only poor photos of models of the

reefers in the book and none of actual railcars.   It is darn hard to find a historical brewery standing, although I've visited the one in Potosi, Wisconsin.  I am guessing there are others standing in Wisconsin? 

Wonderful job of putting together the walls Alex!!  I know that you had to do some work to get everything to fit and looks like you got it perfect! 

 

Ben...nice location and I really like all of the delivery trucks around the building.  With all of the beer on the layout, I am thinking you guys must be running beer and drinking trains most of the time....
