"Short Line Stone Depot" Kit
by Thomas A. Yorke Enterprises/Scale Model Masterpieces O/On3/On2/On30/1:48
No, this is NOT the Falberg Depot kit; this the Thomas A. Yorke Rocopilla Depot kit has been around much longer! (1976). The "Rocopila Depot" Kit has no specific prototype but the general construction techniques used for this model were inspired by a little station south of the border. Santa Eulalia was the end of the line for the Ferrocarril Mineral de Chicuahua, a narrow gauge industrial line. The station still stood (1976) along with #6; a Porter 2-8-0, "riding" the adjacent turntable.
This *original* Thomas A. Yorke kit (now Scale Model Masterpieces) has been give a renewed life with lots of details, updates, and additions including the instructions, wood ramp & Precision Cut one-piece trusses! And, you will be able to select which style of Doctor Ben's Shingles, Corrugated Metal, or Copper roofing that you would like for this fine model.
The windows, doors, and other details are Grandtline product molded plastic. Kit includes drawings (also SEE THUMBNAILS BELOW), scale lumber and detailed construction and weathering instructions using Doctor Ben's products.
And yes, Doctor Ben's Weathering would look good on the roof and all the rest of the structure as well which is why we off a *Special* discount when you add the Options when you purchase this amazing kit.
