| Just as an anthracite railroad should serve coal mines along its route, it should also have coal distributors. Fenimore is one dealership on the Wyoming Valley. Fenimore will be comprised of two structures, an office and a coal trestle. The office was built from a kit by FOS Scale Ltd. The trestle was kitbashed from two Lowboy trestle kits by Bar Mills. The sign on the trestle is also from a Bar Mills kit, the "Billboard in a Bag". |
 |
| The trestle was kitbashed based on a drawing I found on the Rensselaer Model Railroad Society's webpage several years ago. The only parts I used from the trestle kits are the bents and stringers. I discarded the crossbraces in the kit and built my own. The rest was scratchbuilt |
| The closeup, above, shows the details I added to the model. Details include the NBW's, end of track bumper, railings, deck, and bracing. Below gives a good view of the top deck. Notice how the short ties provide space for the coal to drop from the hopper to the ground, below. |
| The sign above is a modified "Lehigh Valley Anthracite" sign, substituting the logo and colors of the Lehigh Valley with Wyoming Valley logos and colors. |
