It took a while to work out a few details of the new WH-06 McElwain Factory Warehouse of Nashua, NH, including developing the model at O, S and HO Scales. It will be our 3rd official S Scale offering and our first in HO Scale. The prototypical 4-1/2 story O Scale version is shown below. It has also been developed in 3-1/2, 5-1/2 and 6-1/2 story heights. The standard shadowbox depth of 1" applies to the O and S Scale versions. The depth of the HO Scale version will be decided after conversation with prospective buyers. An alternate shadowbox depth of one window column has been developed for those who wish to vary elevation setbacks combined with section heights.
Details to notice: The brick pattern is raster engraved instead of vector cut which allows for a wider mortar line. There are also variations on the brick pattern as seen on the real building. The windows are three layers of PolyBak instead of two, allowing for the prototypal presentation of the separate masonry opening frames and window sashes. The granite sills are separately applied and the sill color wraps the bottom masonry opening. The star bolts are separately applied.
All versions will be presented for sale at the Amherst Railway Society Virtual Meet this weekend. The model will be offered in runs of 10 for each scale in three-month increments.
