Situated at kilometer 25.1 of the Nordhausen Wernigerode 1000 mmm narrow gauge Railway in the German Harz mountains was a loading ramp for wood.

Loading rails and switches were removed in the 1960s. [1]

We still find remains of a railway worker's box made of corrugated iron. Thanks to the pictures and measurements made by Julius and other sources [3][4][5] we can now provide this model.

If you want to add an oven, you can use my model of a small iron oven from 1940s

The inside of the walls are covered with wooden planks.

Printing

I printed this design in H0 and TT scale, keep in mind - you have to scale:

The original version of this box consists of the walls with socket and the roof 01 made from wood. In my private opinion they added the casted socket during WW2. I added roof 02 and walls without the massive socket for more available variants.

2024-03-08: Added pictures of the finished model in 1/120 scale (TT). I used a modified version in combination with the oven, I added as v05 here.
