In our tradition of designing and building unique railroad structures, the model 0442 AT&SF Palmer Lake
Depot certainly fits the bill! This depot is unique in that it has two office bays, one on each side of the depot.
This was required at Palmer Lake, Colorado where their were tracks on both sides of the depot, one belonging to the D&RGW
and the other belonging to the AT&SF. Thus, this depot served two lines. If your garden railroad has two loops
that parallel at one depot, then this interesting structure is for you!
This depot captures the distintive design architecture of many AT&SF depots, with is high doors and
six over six pane windows. The depot is a strong structure that is mounted on a dark gray PVC base to protect
it from ground moisture and provide a sturdy means of attaching extra detail. This structure features a sliding freight door
on both sides of the depot so that one can access the freight and baggage area. On one end, is the office door and window,
while the other end is a solid wall.
The walls of the depot are built from individually milled redwood strips, glued together
with waterproof glue, to form the board and batten siding. The siding is secured to an interior wall to form a structurally
sound wall. For more support, all of the internal corners and bases of the walls have 3/8" x 3/8" redwood members to reinforce
the structure. All surfaces inside and out (except those between the depot and the PVC) are double stained to seal the surface
from moisture. One of the finest features of this structure is the charm of the hand shingled cedar roof! Each shingle is
cut by hand and attached to a 3/4 inch solid redwood subroof using Titebond II waterproof glue. The solid redwood subroof
minimizes the chances of the roof being crushed, if something or someone should accidentally fall on it. The depot can
also be obtained with tarpaper roofing. They can be obtained in our standard colors (link to Color Selection), or they can be obtained as raw redwood.
The serialized AT&SF depot requires a space that is 19 1/2" long and 12 1/2" deep.
The overall height of the depot is 9".
