Chicago Park Depot
The small prototype structure that this kit models began life in 1886 as a 16 foot square freight shed. It served a sawmill operation on Storm's siding on the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad. The little station was eventually renamed Chicago Park, gained an 8' extension that became the Post Office, and was moved twice before the the railroad realigned a portion of its track, bypassing it in 1908.
Overall footprint, including stairs is about 4-1/2" x 3". Additional station signs provided: Mierda del Toro, New Brighton, Indian Springs, and Willow Creek. Multiple copies of Post Office and Ticket Agent signs, as well as train schedules are included. Click here for a picture in a new window showing Jim Vail's version.

New England Potato House
O scale model shown above.
HO scale model shown above.
Potato houses were a common sight in parts of New England from the late 1800s through the early 1900s. Because New England can be brutally cold in winter, fireplaces were built in virtually every one. Modern insulation materials we take for granted today were not available when these structures were built. Instead of fiberglass or foam board, sawdust was used to fill the spaces in the exterior walls. Many potato houses, due to their construction methods, were consumed in fires. Some survived to become stores, were abandoned, or were put to other uses. These kits will build into one of several similar versions representative of smaller potato houses that were served by rail.
