The Old Factory
 
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).
