Modeling Milk - Ed Loizeaux Sat 9:30AM
An interesting overview presentation of the dairy industry and its dependence
on railroad transportation. A visual slide show follows the physical movement
of milk from cow to table. Emphasis is on horse-drawn carts, small trucks,
trackside platforms, trains, interurban/trolley cars, can cars, creameries, ice
houses, ice harvesting, icing machines, bulk milk cars, entire milk trains,
pasteurization, homogenization, bottling plants, larger trucks and conversion of
milk to other products such as butter, ice cream, cheese, etc. Each step of the
process is illustrated with both prototype and model images so the modeler can
recreate all, or a portion, of the dairy industry on his home layout.
