Gateway Depot
The Gateway Depot for the FWRR was scratch modeled using hardwood dowels. (The original Gateway Depot at the Fort Wildness Outpost no longer exists, as it was replaced with a similarly designed depot for buses.) Dimensions were estimated from photographs, as no plans were available. However, the model was made three FWRR coaches long, instead of being five coaches long like the original Depot for the Fort Wilderness Railroad. The roof was constructed of individually placed small cedar singles, which took 20 hours for one side of the structure.
