Nuckolls Packing is one of many structures depicted in period photos of Telluride shot from the mountain south of town and published in The RGS Story, Volume II by Russ Collman (Sundance Publications, out of print). The industry was on a siding, so it was an ideal subject for my model, which would serve as a shipping/receiving point.
The photos in the book reveal little detail, but my friend Herb Koenig was able to use them to draw plans of the structure to fit my layout space. Herb had to estimate the dimensions from the photos, and I took some liberties with his plans, but my goal was simply to capture the essence of the building.
