New-Old Stock (NOS) HO/HOn3/HOn2/HOn30
Footprint:HO-Scale 96' x 40'
This impressive structure was based on one still standing in San Bernardino, California. The original cast concrete structure was built around 1920, but it has seen some changes over the years and our rendition incorporates these. Our patterns reflected the uneven and rough wooden form board impressions as well as "oozing" concrete from between them so typical of cast concrete structures.
The castings from our "Original Thomas A Yorke masters which reflect all of this detail and more. This kit is composed of eight major Hydrocal castings including the roof with parapet wall and "tar paper" roofing already cast in place - simply paint & weathering with Doctor Ben's Weathering Stains. Grandt styrene window castings and Century Foundry metal roof vents are included along with our usual comprehensive instructions and plans plus a color photograph for a truly easy to assemble kit. The scale 96' x 40' size will dwarf two 50' box cars alongside!
This kit comes with the finest Thomas A York Hydrocal castings including a very nicely detailed stone and brick original carvings. The windows, doors, and a bunch of other stuff. NOTE: Very Heavy Kit-almost 4 Pounds!
