Structures

"Grizzly Flats" station was originally built as a set for Walt Disney's 1946 movie, "So Dear to My Heart".  It then became the property of one of Disney's animators and railroad enthusiast, Ward Kimball, where it served as the station for his private railroad.  Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the 2021 "Calder Fire".  Period Miniatures produced a craftsman kit of Grizzly Flats station which I purchased on sale in 1982.  I'm a bit slow, but, 40 years later, I built the kit.  The stick-on trim strips were deteriorated, so I replaced them with styrene strips.  The hardest part was applying the ridge shingles one at a time.
