Club Member Jeff Pratt really enjoyed building card stock models. Soon after he joined he offered to recreate the Skunk Train Depot in the colours it existed at the time (2012). He created a masterpiece and it was our piece de resistance for quite a while. Alas, this was the only model Jeff built. He contracted leukemia and died about 18 months after its completion. Whilst Jeff’s model was not prototypically accurate it is so good it fools people to this day. Have a look …….
