For those following along, I did complete the freight house and posted photos in the 2020 Challenge thread. I’m taking a break from populating Alderson PA structures. I’ve been ballasting, installing switch throws, adding drops, working on rolling stock, and creating a load for a gondola. Based on a photo of the Alderson depot area, my partially-completed load of lumber looks like this:
The ad hoc rack is about half done. I’ve interpreted the photo to mean most of the components were the very lumber being transported, plus a dozen 6 by 8” timbers to make up the ramps. The long timbers connecting the two racks are not prototypical but are for convenience in building. They will be hidden. In actuality, I assume, there would have been a row of the lumber being hauled. I saved a little time and wood doing it this way.
