Whyte's Produce Co.
A Z-Scale diorama by Paw of a Bear
Back to the Z Gallery
Whytes Produce is based on Earl Smallshaw's HO scale model, Perkin's Produce. Plans for this model can be found in Model Railroader Magazine December 1974 page 54. This Z scale version of the model is made using matt board, bristol board, construction paper, Paper Creek brick, and Campbell tin roofing. As always, I added some changes to the building design.
Z-scale Whyte's Produce Co. includes the following features:
- individually applied clapboards
- N-scale tichy window castings
- two rickety wooden staircases
- diamond shingle roofing
- scratch built wooden rooftop water tank
- hand made chimney
- hand painted sign on the building
- ornate trim at the eaves
- shed with corrugated metal siding and roofing
- hand painted MakeMyModel box truck with crates in the rear
- long loading dock with apple crates
- a hand made tree
- fully sceniced base
Unfortunately this was sold to a private collector before I took measurements. I'm guessing that the model was on a base about 3 1/2" x 5"
If you would like me to build something like this for your scale model railroad, please do drop me an email at mthduggan@pawofabear.com. We can discuss your budget and needs.
