HO, 1/87 Scale Details - Wooden Crates

Freight stations and docks need all sorts of goods. Here is small collection of wooden crates, part of my details collection.

Details are molded from all sorts of materials. These four are the metal verity. The top two have been painted and weathered and are ready to be added to some dock on my model train layout.

These two have been salvaged from a freight station kit and were to be adhered to the floor of the model. The castings are finely detailed and I decided to switch things up a bit.

These crates are cast from plastic and came from a kit that included are sorts of dock castings, including sacks, wooded cases in different sizes, barrels and other miscellaneous details.

As you might notice this kit includes materials to build your own wooden crates.

Of course you could build your own crates from scribed plastic and or cardstock.You could build any sized crates you require including those for loads on your flat cars.
