Our latest HO scale structure kit is loosely based on an existing building found in an old Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette. We suspect it originally served as some type of small retail business, possibly with an apartment upstairs, as the article’s photos did show a stairway. It could easily serve as the local barber shop, bakery, hardware store, café or even a small home on your layout as well.

The kit is precision cut from quality milled basswoods and 3-ply aircraft grade birch plywood and incorporates all the attributes customers are used to enjoying in an American Model Builders LASERkit: tab and slotted wall and roof assembly; peel and stick windows, doors, and trim; rolled roofing; crystal clear window glazing; foundation with first and second story floors; full color signage for a variety of businesses; resin cast soda machine and cask for detailing the wood decked porch, and white metal chimney. The finish structure measures 4.75 inches deep x 2.5 inches wide x 3.375 inches tall over the false front.
