Product Description
The fettlers cottage is based on NSWGR Plan S.T. 106 of 1933 for a timber framed weatherboard and fibrous cement sheet ('Fibro') accommodation for fettlers and presumably other railways employees at times.
Thanks to Peter Beyer, I have seen photos of one cottage at Tumbarumba (1940s) and there is an existing one at RoseWood (now a private residence).
This model of the detail parts is one of three parts of the cottage, the other two parts being the walls and verandah structure and the roof structure.
Link to the Fettlers Cottage Wall Structure part in White Natural Versatile Plastic (previously called White Strong and Flexible - WSF).
Link to the Fettlers Cottage Roof part in White Natural Versatile Plastic (previously called White Strong and Flexible - WSF).
This part is printed in Smooth Fine Detail Plastic (previously called Frosted Ultra Detail - FUD) acrylic material and consists of a sprue of doors, windows, water tanks, sheet metal fireplace and gutters.
Given the era of the building, I chose to paint it in the Stone colour scheme of the NSWGR. It would probably have been painted in the colour scheme of the station buildings of the time. Of course, by the early 1960's station buildings were beginning to be painted in various pastel colours.
The detail parts are to be painted as per the colour scheme chosen.
The only magazine article that I am aware of regarding the NSWGR 'Stone' colour scheme is in Branchline Modeller No.1 - 'STONE' COLOUR SCHEMES FOR NSWGR BUILDINGS by James McInerney.
I have produced this cottage because I simply liked it.
