Freight
House Even after the days of steam there wasn't a town

windows, doorway, and roof supports make it easy to assemble.

Rectangular
Switch Tower Signal towers were erected at yard entrances,
crossovers and crossings to throw turnouts and signals, send
up orders and otherwise expedite traffic. The upper floor houses
the levers to accomplish the above, and the lower floor was used
for battery, tool, and parts storage. It was a very necessary
building for any railroad before centralized train control came
into use. This model requires an area of 3" x 5.25".

rear window castings. All parts are cut to size as much as possible. |

Bulk
Oil Depot Since the 1920s, oil has been pushing coal
into second place and the railroads have played an important
part in this changeover. Home heating oil, various gasolines,
drums of oil and grease, were distributed to local dealers. This
model is perfect for use on steam or diesel era layouts and its
equally at home in a large city or a small country town. The
bulk oil depot is condensed to conserve layout space, but is
so designed to allow the model builder to add more or larger
tanks to suit his needs or space. Extra piping can also be found
in your own close closet in the form of heavy clothes hangers.
This model is assembled upon a 6" x 26" piece of 1/8" thick
hardboard or masonite to make it easier to move to its location
on the layout. This hardboard is not furnished due to its large
size. All other parts are precut to size wherever possible. Window
and door castings make assembly easy. The emblems and various
signs are furnished in bright colors. The instructions contain
many drawings to simplify construction and there is even a large
section explaining how to enclose your depot with realistic looking
chain-link fencing. |

a unit such as LVM31 was a busy place. This model takes an area

door, and three door castings. Whenever possible, parts are precut
to exact size and many are color-coded to make them easy to identify
