Campbells Supply rebuild

[ak-milw]

If you remember back when I did the gas station build I used the office from an old Campbells Supply kit. Well now it's time to rebuild the rest of the building.

Here is a picture with the office removed.



Here I have removed all the signs, the overhang and the wooden legs.



It's a start!!

A very good start - I built this one many years ago.

Glad to see this thread, Andy!
I love the Campbells kits, and am anxious to see what you do with
this rebuild! 
Guess you can call me a 'Hanger-On'!

John, I built this kit back in 1978 0r 79. It has been on five different layouts. I hate to throw it away so I am rebuilding it as a supply warehouse in the vehicle yard in New Lisbon.

I cut off the old cardboard roofs and threw them away, they will be replaced with wooden ones. Finished removing what was left of the old signs and added more bracing inside. I added to the bottom for the new stone foundation and painted the dock.



I also cut away the dock from in front of the lean to.

Bob, In this area with all the sandstone bluffs, just about every old building had a stone foundation. Just trying to keep it true to the area.

Andy........

So do you live somewhere in Wisconsin ? ? ?

I grew up in Chicago and there were huge sand stone quarries on the south side of town.  The pits are still there off the south side of the freeway.  I suppose there are more most every where.
