Skyscaper under construction?

I use Kenner building sets for my town hall under construction.  I don't have enough pieces of one color so the front half is black and the back half is blue./

Its supposed to have a center tower that will be a clock tower.

This is the back side and I have left girders unplaced so that it looks like the construction is on going.

Here you go Steve.....more details should be added and these were taken several years ago on the layout...

Hi Alan • I recognize the building on the right.

Kenner Building Set, from the 50's & 60's

I had this kit, when I was a kid. Shown in photo below.....  

You can find these on the Big Bay - I still have my set in the attic.

That is correct Gary!!  Right now under my layout I have about 20 or 25 sets of set number 8.  I thought I was going to use them and bought a bunch off of Ebay back in the late 1990's.  I have some mint sets and also have around 100 more various Girder and Panel sets.  I need to get rid of them since I will not need as many as I thought....probably need to get them back up on the "bay"..!

Steve  This company sells them http://www.bridgestreettoys.com/   Same thing without the collector prices

Actually, the set number 8 is less expensive than most of the various sets that Bridge Street Toys sells and has a lot more variety of pieces which allows one to build not only a building, but bridges, etc.  I checked completed auction prices and they range from $41.00 down to $25.00. 

There is another company producing these under the name of Power City Construction.  They also seem to be less expensive than the other versions available.  I believe there was an earlier thread here on the forum that talked about them.....

They are great toys.  I had the monorail set as a kid.  It's long gone, but I picked up a set #8 at a show and built this for our Stillmeadow Crossing Modular layout.

WOW I must have had a few of these Kenner Girder and Panel sets as a kid. Thinking about it of the club layout

This is a big help you guys - thanks so much......

You are welcome Steve!!
