Something that has been sitting in my unassembled kit box for years is this laser cut loading ramp kit from Blair Line. This was an easy kit to build. The pieces are quite thin and all of the sections that make up the support structure are doubled for strength. I used yellow wood glue applied with a tooth pick.
Once the kit was fully assembled and the glue dried, I set it in place next to the existing spur in Carlin that has been used for transferring chemicals from tank cars to trucks. While I had originally thought I would use this ramp for the team track in Lovelock, it seemed to me to it fits in here better.
After staining with some diluted Vallejo burnt umber paint, the ramp was glued down next to the track with canopy glue with some paint bottles for weight on it until the glue dried. Some weeds were planted around and under the ramp. Later, I may build a concrete ramp for the team track in Lovelock.
