Icing platform scene complete - foulrift - 08-04-2010
Last night I finished me icing platform and installed it on the layout.
Those of you that saw the earlier photos will notice that I added a roof to the platform which I think adds to the platform.
The only thing that is missing are some blocks of ice.
Anyway,here is the finished scene

Nice work ... can you slide in a little closer and give us an "up close and personal" shot or two? It's looking really nice ... but I want to SEE it!!

Nice! What are you going to use for the ice blocks?

Hmm. Little chunks of plexiglas for ice blocks? Very creative work there!

Our National Newspaper had a story on ice today with some interesting historic information.

Thanks for the replies and comments. I appreciate them.
I'll see what I can do about some close up shots.
I'm not sure what I'm going to use for ice blocks.
As a point of interest there was an article in this months issue of MR about cleaning,pre-cooling and icing reefers.It is part one in a series but this first part illustrates what I was trying to do here.

Bob, Tichy offers ice blocks, along with a lot of other very interesting stuff. You'll have to scroll down quite a ways for the ice.

I wonder if you could fashion ice blocks from clear glue sticks for a hot glue gun. Slice off small sections and square them up?
