Nuckolls Packing is one of many structures depicted in period photos of Telluride shot from the mountain south of town and published in The RGS Story, Volume II by Russ Collman (Sundance Publications, out of print). The industry was on a siding, so it was an ideal subject for my model, which would serve as a shipping/receiving point.
The photos in the book reveal little detail, but my friend Herb Koenig was able to use them to draw plans of the structure to fit my layout space. Herb had to estimate the dimensions from the photos, and I took some liberties with his plans, but my goal was simply to capture the essence of the building.
Very interesting the layout of the structure, and a matter that instructive facita very for those passionate about the hobby of miniature and model train. Model Railroader Magazine always cares about its readers with excellent materials on the molding of structures, and railroads in general in all major scales.
Great. Just what I needed for the background to my yard. Cut in half that is — makes two.
An interesting structure, unfortunately the file is corrupted and it cannot be downloaded….
Time to order some baby building blocks from Deben and some shake shingles and start building this lil gem. Wonder what it will look like with block walls?
Looks like a great plan. I'm looking at modifying it to fit on my New Zealand railway.
Very interesting. Would fit in anywhere. Its time to do some scratch building again. Thanks.
Great article, Will greatly help with my Red Arrow trolley stop buildings.
A nice bulding, How about adding 3D views too.
Just what I've been looking for. Great project for those upcoming cabin fever evenings.
Always looking for appropriate buildings for my N gauge layout, and I have a place already picked out for this gem! Thanks!!
Good plans, very easy for the novice to understand. I'm a
retired carpenter and joiner by trade.. Drawn well
Looks great. But… don't leave out we Z folks. Just make them 40% of HO drawings. This building is simple enough, and big enough, to easily make possible in Z. Thank you.
great plan, will look good on my n layout,a rural small town.
looks good ,will start in a.m.
Great plan. It looks like it will easy and age great. Thanks
Looks like a great project I think I will try makeing it.
Lots of possibilities for this plan!
Thanks for these plans. Will look good in UK OO gauge instead of HO.
Great building, I can't wait to get started !
Thanks for the plans
Thanks for the plans. They will come in handy.
NEWBIE: I will have a go at building this it is well drawn. Thanks.
Great building. So many variations can be done. Will share with our new RR club. Boonslick Model Railroad Club.
Nuckolls Packing was a beef and pork slaughter operation based in Pueblo Colo. Started in 1890. I suspect the facility in Telluride was a branch house which received carcasses from Pueblo, in reefers. Meal may have been shipped out in LCL reefers.
