CNR 500 TON ICE HOUSE
Until well past the middle of the 20th century railroads in the northern USA and in virtually all of Canada, harvested lake ice during the winter and stored it heavily insulated ice houses for later use in the ice bunker reefers that were in use to haul produce, meat, and other perishables before the advent of the mechanical reefers. Our model is of the Canadian National standard 500 ton ice house and is modelled from plans drawn by the CNR in 1926 and supplied to us by the CNR SIG. Although it is of CNR heritage is was almost identical to the CPR and other railroads ice houses, including those in the Northern USA such as the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Milwaukee Road, etc. We have specially cast the intricate 3 story doors and the regular door to give this model the most accuracy of any model of this prototype. Laser cut walls plus an intricate loading platform made from the exact scale sized lumber called for on the plans make this an outstanding but easy to build forground model. Mt Albert lumber and basswood is used throughout, and we even include blocks of "scale" ice. This model should be in stores in mid to late August 2008.
