Skyline was a Philadelphia based manufacturer of cardstock building kits. I believe that they were in business in the 1950's and advertised in the model railroad magazines of the time. I had one of of their switch tower building kits several years back but did not build it. I remember the box contained cardstock building sides, printed roof panels, cellophane windows, a few sticks for reinforcement and a couple of other wooden details. They were very inexpensive structure kits to build, were made to scale and looked pretty nice. I believe that when interest in model railroading began to decline in the late 50's/early 60's , they closed up shop.
