South to Strong
Preparing
the ground and the approaches, Strong is to the left,
Add a little
scenery, and you get this, at Porter Brook:
The
south abutment of the bridge, looking toward Strong
The
Toothpick Clearing House on the left, with the New England Creamery and the
Daggett and Will Store behind it – all of these structures are scratchbuilt
The
Daggett and Will Store, with the Forster Mill to the Right
The
scratchbuilt Forster Mill, with the station to the
right
The
Station and the Freight House; The house on the hill is a stand-in,
until I can build a more accurate model.
The Freight House is scratchbuilt; the station
is built from the fantastic Banta Modelworks kit.
