I worked on the L'anse depot after I finished the Rico model, completing it in March. I then started the construction of a couple of DSS&A caboose models. I used plans for the small window caboose that were published in the SLHTS magazine to build the model above. It is scratch build from styrene and brass, and is painted /lettered in an early 1950's scheme.
This is a large window caboose built to the same dimensions as the small window caboose. Since I was building one it was not much more effort to build a second one. I used photographs as a guide in construction. This model is painted in a 1940's era scheme.

Modeling the DSS&A requires a great deal of scratch building, very few commercial models exist of equipment and structures.
Here is a model of the L'anse Michigan depot. The plans were published in the Soo Line Historical Society publication. This model was constructed in styrene.
My current project is to build a model of an F6 consolidation. I am looking at kit bashing a Spectrum Baldwin Consolidation. The first step is to build up a closer representation of the tender. The above picture shows where I am at in the project at this time.
