The Original W&Q and WW&F: 1894-1933 / TCDA Car Interior

« on: December 05, 2016, 10:27:48 AM »

I am looking for any information the members may have on how the inside of the TCDA car No 65 (or others) were "furnished."  I am building an O Scale model of the car with a visible interior.  I have sheathed the inside based on the full size car located in Wiscasset.

Specifically, how were the milk cans secured? Was there some sort of rack system?  Also, I believe the car was cooled with ice from the Albion ice house during the warm seasons.  How was the ice secured in the car?  Was there a chair and/or desk inside for the attendant to use during the 40+ mile trip from Albion to the the creamery in Wiscasset?

I appreciate any help or direction the group can provide.

The Original W&Q and WW&F: 1894-1933 / Interior photos of Albion Station

« on: December 09, 2014, 03:57:21 PM »

I am looking for details of the interior of the 2 story station at Albion.  I am making an O Scale version and would include a detailed interior.  Specifically, what color were the interior walls of the finished end of the station?  I am using the 1st floor plan published Vol III of NG in SV.  It reffers to a chimney "sitting on shelf above the floor.  Was there a stove or fireplace heating the first floor?

Also, does anyone know what the floor plan and other details for the 2nd floor (residence?)

Thanks,
Pete
