Looking for ideas on a icing facility, considering scratch building it. Please post pictures.
I saw another icing facility on another post which looked incredible, I think it was on hotwater's layout??
thanks,
Mike

If you're interested in an Ice Platform look at Crescent Locomotive Works Website. You will not find a finer one than Dave's for the money.

I sent you an email with photos last week.
I kitbashed (enlarged the ice house) on a Suncoast kit for an icing platform that I am
pleased with. I think the photo was up on here months ago. I also thought I had another of those kits which I don't need, but can't quickly find it, although it might
be a Suncoast logging camp kit, of which I do have two. The Suncoast icing platform kits were showing up on the internet auction fairly regularly....I vaguely think there is another brand kit for one, too...
Here is Crescent Locomotive Works Icing Station. You cannot beat it for the $$$$

Frank, I looked through my email filter and do not show any thing from you
Thanks for this post and all the great icing facility pictures! They all look fantastic! Terry
THe pictures look great.
Jim,
How did you color the wood on your sun coast kit?
Mike
Great pictures everyone.....at one time I thought I would have room for an icing facility but right now I don't know where I would put one!!
Roger....that sure looks nice!
Peter...your modules are really very well done....WOW!!

I made the Atlas kit bigger, but I still don't really like it. I'd rather do the Berkshire Valley kit (like the one Hot Water has), or even better have Dave build me one from Crescent Locomotive Works.
This is a scratch build/kit bash of a BSV kit by a member of another forum I belong to. He does incredible work!
Korber also has made the Union Icehouse. Nice kit.

My grandpa ran an ice plant, the building is still in use (for storage not making ice anymore). Its a HUGE warehouse complex. I'll try to get some pictures to post because I want to build a replica of it on my layout.
