Hi folks

Working on some new kits to launch this fall and thought I would post a few photos

First one is a two stall backshop- diesel shop.  It can be built either all cement or cement And brick.

Second is the beginnings of a new background building that can have a train go through it.   Loading doors below the overhang for freight service.  Still adding the front pier supports.

As always feed back welcome.

Rich,

 

Excellent!  The hobby needs more of these type of buildings.  Interesting variants would be brick facades with arched windows.  I think Korber could make quite a business out some of these background / narrow buildings.

 

Some ideas:

 

 

heinz_factory

Heinz_factory2

Heinz-ketchup-factory-0

Old-factories

Wonder_Bread factory

worcester_meiselman02

 

I like the Heinz factory (they built their own freight cars, too!) and the Goldstein Scrap Metal company (could be made to fit between 2 parallel tracks or in the Y of a switch).

 

Obviously, creating these require significant investment in dies and molds, but wall castings might sell well.  The old DPM stuff isn't readily available or easy to work with when you do find it.

 

Thanks for bringing out new buildings!

 

Best,

 

George

Heinz just merged with Kraft.

Thanks guys for the nice comments

Let's see if I can answer the questions,

We still plan to have the 306 diesel shed

We will target having these at York this year and on the web shortly after that.

These kits are modular so you can re arrange the sections, meaning each area between the concrete pilaster to make wider tart move windows and doers. So it could be ch aged to add windows to the first floor

The background building is about 22 inches wide as I recal

Gee...weird about Heinz...will have to tell a friend who collects some of their stuff....

guess it beats being sold off overseas.  I have used Korber modular brick buildings,

but brick or stone, with sometimes exposed vertical supports, seem easier to make

as modular panels, vs. wood, which is often any irregular shape and size.  But, maybe I just can't visualize it.  I build wooden grain elevators and stamp mills, and both have

high, wide and individualistic walls.

George, Love the Goldstein Scrap Co. in Worcester, MA.. That whole "Canal District" has some very interesting buildings. And with all the new investment in the area converting those buildings into resturants and bars is has become quite the entertainment area. The Union Station in that photo's background has been restored too. There was supposedly an N scale model kit of the station that was going to be offered a few years ago, but apparently it never was done.

 

I have also taken photos in that area because I figured it was being redeveloped and the buildings character might change. New England has a lot of interesting mill and industrial buildings.
