Ore Tram House, scratchbuilt | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

colorado hirailerOGR Forum Member

I have babbled on here about building structures (and showed some of the

rolling stock "critters" I've created), so now I am going to show some of

the structures I have scratchbuilt, kitbashed, and modified. This is one I

build from photos of one at Ophir, Colo. (which had disappeared on my last

trip..should be illegal to tear down history)

Nice job what will you use to mimic the spilled ore?

Dunno yet, but I think some is commercially packaged, but that just may be red

iron ore (hematite). Somebody on here I owe thanks to told me about using

safflower seeds for model sugar beets, and that solved a more uncommon problem.

I remember a lot of slick, shiny iron pyrites (fool's gold), when I have been climbing

around old Colorado mine sites. I could break up chunks of that with a hammer if

I don't find something else that resembles what I've seen.
