The Old Factory in Blackfoot, on the HStP&B.
An aerial view of the factory with two boxcars
waiting to be loaded on the siding. This 1950's scene on Peter Kruimer's Helena, St. Paul &
Blackfoot is part of a feature article in the July/August and September/October 1999 issues
of N Scale Magazine.
The town of Blackfoot is represented on the layout by a small station and this industry, with a
small parking lot shared by the two buildings.
The factory is a kit manufactured by N Scale Architect. The CB&Q and GN double-door boxcars are
InterMountain kits. The shed in front of the CB&Q boxcar is a laser kit manufactured by American Model
Builders. The scene was shot under three blue 500-watt Photoflood lamps using Velvia 50 film in a
Pentax K-1000 set at
f22 for 2 seconds. (May 1999).
