SC-100 Lumber Warehouse (Bingen)
$50.00
Also known as the Bingen Warehouse, located in Bingen, Washington, this arched roof structure has been redesigned from the original entirely now with a 100 foot long length suitable for two 50′ boxcars. Doors on the end are enlarged for forklifts carrying lumber. Interior bracing redesigned to be weight supporting and providing a detailed view at track level. Dock is a separate construction that allows placement at either end or completely off by its own. New awning for the side door adds detail and interest. Roofing is a peel and stick material to give each piece an individual look…because it is! This is a large structure that will take approximately 10-12 hours to build for moderate to experienced modelers.
SC-200 Company House
$25.00
As America migrated from farm lands to industries, mines, and factories, inexpensive housing was hard to find. Companies started building simple homes for their workers, all nearly identical with only the basics. Workers paid rent for the homes, shopped at the company store, and stayed in their small community. Over the years, the homes were sold to private individuals and many survive to this day in coal mine town, lumber regions, or anywhere workers needed to be housed. With the addition of running water, kitchens, and other amenties, these small structures became the basis for homes you find across the nation today.
This model features individual windows that can be modeled open or closed, and an addition that can be placed anywhere around the structure as best fits for your location. A kit that will take about 6 hours with moderate skill.
SC-300 Wood Chip Loader
$30.00
Up through the 1950’s, sawdust and wood chips were considered waste materials by the lumber industry. Using beehive burners, mills would burn off this material as unwanted. With the introduction of particle board, wafer board, and demand for more paper products, suddenly wood chips had value and a new product was available to be shipped out by open top trailers or by rail in open top high side hoppers. They were built on site for the operation with very rarely ever two alike between mills.
This model represents a fairly common design and suitable for high side wood chip hoppers. One or two on a siding will give your railroad a new industry to switch.
Laser kit is a mix of styrene, wood, laserboard and 3D printed details. 6-8 hour assembly time for a moderate modeling skill.
SR-500 Team Track Dock
$15.00
When a shipper needs to receive or ship a product but doesn’t have a siding of their own, the universal team track is used. Able to load boxcars and flatcars, this loading dock is ideal for a detailed scene with boxes, crates, oil drums, or even equipment like tractors, cars, or earth movers. Whatever fits, it ships! This model is based off a prototype that was located in Auburn, WA on the Northern Pacific Railway. Wood ties formed the sides with the dock filled with dirt and rock before concrete was poured to form the top.
This model features hidden tab and slot construction with a movable ramp you can place around the dock, or even on the end to allow two tracks to line up on each long side if you wish. Dock can serve up to two 50′ long cars.
SR-100 Section House
$15.00
A classic standard 2 car motorcar shed or ‘section’ house. This model is based on the Northern Pacific Railway standard, and lasted well into the 1980’s on Burlington Northern as a storage option along the tracks. This model features peel and stick trim, and roof shingles. It’s a great starter kit for modelers new to laser cut wooden kits. Assembly and paint time is approximately 4 hours.
