The Mid Central Region, N M R A, Inc. will be offering a series of prototype, laser cut building kits. The first offering in this limited production series will be a baggage/freight building located in South Lebanon, OH. Below are thumb nails taken of the freight house.
The original structure, still standing, has probably been moved from its original trackside location. It now sits on private property several hundred feet away from what was once was the right of way and is now part of the “Rails to Trails” program. It currently rests on a concrete foundation. The building serviced the Little Miami Branch which ran from Morrow, Ohio to Cincinnati, Ohio. The building was probably constructed in the 1880”s. The building is 16 feet by 32 feet in size. Below are thumbnails of the model.
The kit, offered in N, HO, O and S scales, is furnished with a 4 foot by 32 foot platform on one side and supported on a wood post foundation. The modeler can remove the platform and post supports and provide a concrete foundation for the building if desired. The floor material for the platform can be used to construct ramps up to the baggage doors. The model will be available for delivery in January 2008. Orders are being taken now. For further information, please e-mail our vice president.
We have a supply of HO kits. Please email or call (1-614-277-0314) the Project Chairman to verify the availability of any other scale you want to order before placing your order.
