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 window castings two loading docks,
chain/security fence, and Scale Model Masterpieces details (listed below),
Cyclone Roof Vents & Roof Access Hatch 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 including Scale Model Masterpieces Details 2 each of the
