Raymondale, featuring original buildings from Frank Ellison's Delta Lines layout, on Fred Dole's Westchester & Salmon River O gauge model railroad, was featured in the October 2008 issue of CLASSIC TOY TRAINS magazine.

WSR stands for "Westchester & Salmon River", the name of our O gauge model railroad. WSR Products came into being when O scale brick paper became unavailable commercially. When we created sheets for our own use, we decided to have copies printed so others could use it, too. NEW: Cloud Background photos and Stone Wall sheets are now available. We also have available two printed cardstock sheets of historic O scale buildings that can be cut out, mounted on matboard, and assembled. One is a model of the "OB Long Box Co." from Frank Ellison's "Delta Lines." The other is the 1930s Scale-Craft station, reproduced from original color sheets. Custom built cardstock buildings are available on special order.

NEW! CLOUD BACKGROUNDS FOR YOUR LAYOUT This cloud photograph was taken off the coast of Maine. It was enlarged and divided into four separate prints which measure each 13" x 19" These four photos are provided to you ready to mount on mat board or directly on a wall. The finished cloud background measures 19" tall by 52" wide COST OF THE SET OF FOUR UNMOUNTED PHOTOS INCLUDING POSTAGE IS $40.00 Make checks payable to FRED M. DOLE and mail to: Fred M. Dole, PO Box 62, Colchester CT 06415   Note: we can modify the cloud sizes to fit special requests. Contact us with your needs and we'll see what we can do to help you.

WSR O SCALE CARDSTOCK BUILDINGS The Ob Long Box Co.   The Ob Long Box Co. was built in the 1930s by Frank Ellison for his Delta Lines layout. The photo at the top shows it on the Ellison's New Orleans layout. Fred M. Dole purchased the original building in 2000 at an auction of Delta Lines items. The reproduction building shown above was created by photographing the walls of the original building and printing them on a large four color heavy weight paper. To assemble the building, cut the walls out, mount them on matboard, add wood bracing and glue everything together. Complete instructions are included. You will be proud to display this historic Delta Lines building on your layout.   The Scale-Craft Station (now available in both O gauge and S gauge sizes) The Scale-Craft station dates from the late 1930s. The station measures 24" long, 9 1/2" wide and 7 1/2" tall. This reproduction was created from an original set of the station sheets. As with the Ob Long building, cut the walls apart, mount them on matboard, add wood bracing and glue everything together. The construction photos above show the work in progress. The same techniques are used to assemble the Ob Long Box Co. building. The kits include only the color sheets. Wood bracing has to be buyer supplied. HOW TO ORDER As with the WSR brick paper, we have made the ordering process simple: The cost of either set of full color, printed sheets is $50.00 including postage. Simply send us a letter specifying which building you want and enclose a a check made out to FRED M, DOLE, and mail it to: Fred M. Dole • PO Box 62 • Colchester, CT 06415   CUSTOM CARDSTOCK BUILDINGS WSR Products can build custom cardstock structures for your layout. Shown below are two buildings we've made for customers. The first is a reproduction of the freight station that was located at Fillmore on Frank Ellison's Delta Lines. The second is an the JLC Manufacturing Co. building from the1949 Lionel showroom layout. There are modern versions of this building available but this is the only one with accurately colored brick paper and dimensions.
