Search for Buildings.

Mods please move this if the General Trainz thread is not the right place.

Hi all. So normally I try finding things on my own unless they catch my eye. However, this time I must ask for help. I dont want sound like a gimmie pig so let me say this right now. If you can help me locate any building that slightly resembles these. Please help. So to start off, I really only need 2 buildings.

The Cass Scenic Station. I could have sworn there was an older model made before it burned down and this one took its place.

The Cass General Store and Post office. Post office is still in use today. I know there is a showroom over to the right behind the station and below that is a small souvenier shop.

This next one is not something I really need. But it would be really useful.

Now, I cant remember if this was a steel mill or a lumber mill. But Im looking for something rusted and falling apart.

Im not exspecting to many friendly reactions because some people may jump to conclusions and accuse me of bein a gimme pig in some way or another. But, If anyone can help that would be great. And if not. I will try to make them myself.

I was also wondering about the cottages, barber shop and church. But those shouldnt be hard to find.

Thanks for reading. And possible helping.

There is a hand full of buildings that are similar. It's a lumber mill, Cass was a logging railroad, so no steel mills. I'd recommendBenDorsey's content. Kitabash it. GFisher may have something similar to the depot.

Thanks. Bad thing is, I only have my phone for internet. The thing with bendorseys stuff has the "Tno thumbnail thumbnail" or something similiar, so I cant tell what the buildings look like.

The name is fairly descriptive in itself, however, read the asset description.

If you can't find anything close enough and can get some more photos of the first two buildings (from all 4 sides) and basic dimensions I can probably make them for you.

There are no known blueprints of the station or general store that I know of. I can get images of the depot from all for sides but they arent up close.

I would do the route in the era when it was in it's hey day ... not todays relic

 

[bendorsey]

Thanks Cascade:

Printed those 2 out. A few more and we are in business.

When I say basic dimensions I don't necessarily mean plans. Overall size is more along the lines of what I'm looking for as plans (unfortunately) are not always available. I can work a lot out based on ratio-n-proportion and the fact that windows and doors tend to be a standard size. The windows in the general store look to be standard 3 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Doors tend to be 2 foot 8 inches wide (height can vary depending on how fancy the door is).

Not sure if these will help or not. The post office is attached to the general store. So i will have to try to get pics of it.

 

[bendorsey]

These definitely help. Printed them out.

Need photos of the other end and rear.

Also more photos of the station.

Plus basic dimensions (footprint).

No rush gents - I always have things to make (usually to darn many, lol).

[trainman7616]

Sadly ben. This is all I can do. Like I said. No blueprints like I said. =/ Cant get pics of the other side

 

[817TAYLOR]

I have one that a friend took of the mill.

 

[trainman7616]

Thats a nice pic

 

[bendorsey]

Its not unreasonable to assume the back side of the big building is pretty must the same as the side I can see. Lots and lots of windows and a few doors at ground level. Different doors of course since the back side isn't so much commercial as set up for delivery.

This also applies to a lesser extent to the station. Possible only difference is the lack of the ticket window extending beyond the basic structure. People and freight doors would be on both sides (usually opposite of each other front to back).

So - - all I need is some idea as to the overall size of the two buildings. Length and width for certain - height if possible.

An interesting feature is that staircase, and the boardwalk suspended by wood angled beams, and it extends for quite some distance (unknown) looking at GE and Bing Maps

I have a station in trainz that when a shay is set next to it is the appropriate height. Would any pics from in game help?

The boardwalk extends from the post office down and wraps around the whole front of the general store and cafe and then stretches over to the Cass Showcase building behind the station while going overtop a small souvenier shop behind the station at ground level.

 

[bendorsey]

Gonna need photos of the boardwalk and staircase if you want me to include it.

In the game screenshots don't really help. Its shots of the real thing I need. In any case I can get by without height info. Its the footprint I need.

Ben

 

[trainman7616]

Its not really needed. Well I guess in a way it is. But some of the pics I posted show it.

Im going to plan a trip to Cass in a few weeks. Just for the pics.Should take me about 2 hours to get there.

 

[bendorsey]

Great!

In that case I'll hold off on starting either building. Much better to have the correct info then my guesswork.

I don't necessarily need a lot o photos - just he right ones.

Take your longest yardstick, lol.
