REESE STREET ROW HOUSES
HO Kit #5903 (3 houses) $ 26.95
N Scale Kit #8023 (3 houses) $21.95
This kit is based on a group of houses which can
still be seen today on Reese Street in
Silverton, CO. Constructed in the early 1900's,
they are typical of the modest tract houses
built to accommodate workers in mining areas
throughout the West. Similar houses dotted the
streets of mining towns in California, Nevada,
Arizona, Colorado and Utah. As time went on,
the houses were added onto and expanded to fit
the needs of their residents.
We have provided components for constructing
three complete houses, including their lean-to's
and outhouses. To give your buildings an
individual look, you can choose from four
different gable trims and two different front
walls. The lean-to's, which can be made in two
different sizes, may be used on the back or side
of the buildings. These kits are great fun if
you are a kit-basher. The basic house (without
the lean-to) measures 1.24" x 1.85". Although
there are many different ways to arrange the
components, the three houses, built as designed,
will fit on a 3" x 6" footprint (not including
the outhouses). |

PROBLEM JOE'S HO Kit #5906 $ 26.95 In
the town of Aspen, CO there once lived a very
old man. He was known locally as "No Problem
Joe". Joe was a local fix-it man who was often
called upon by the ski-lift folks to correct the
seasonal crises which threatened their
business. No matter what the situation was, he
managed to come up with a solution...after
assuring the person in distress that there was
"no problem". This model is based on Joe's
house. It is still around, although in pretty
bad shape, with a couple of signs posted on the
font door: "For Sale" and "No Trespassing". We
figure Joe must have moved on. Last time we
checked, the asking price was rumored to be
$1,300,000.00.
Our version of No Problem Joe's includes
styrene components to make the main house with
its front porch plus Joe's coal shed and
outhouse. As presented, the models will fit on
a 7" x 3.6" footprint. With a bit of
imagination, variations on painting and
weathering techniques and a few extra detail
parts from our HO line, you kit-bashers can give
Joe's place a number of different looks |

THE
GOMEZ STORE
HO Kit #5909 $35.00This kit is based on
Ruben G. Gomez' General Merchandise store in
Pagosa Junction, near the borders of Colorado
and New Mexico. Constructed in 1910, it is
typical of many small general stores built to
accommodate travelers throughout the West.
Similar structures can be found along many of
the early highways in California, Nevada,
Arizona, Colorado an Utah.
We have provided components for constructing
the complete store as it exists today, including
the boardwalk and gas pump. The front boasts
clapboard siding, and the sides have sheet-metal
siding embossed with a brick pattern. The roof
is corrugated iron. To give your building an
individual look, you can use the pre-printed
"RUBEN G. GOMEZ" sign, or letter your own--using
the blank we have provided. A sheet of printed
signs is also included. The building will fit
on a 5.6" x 7.25" footprint. |

THE
SECOND CLASS SALOON
HO Kit #5900 $ 22.00In 1882, Wyatt Earp
left Tombstone, Arizona to move west and operate
several saloons. Among the towns in which he
set up these saloons were San Diego in
California, Tonopah in Nevada and Nome in
Alaska. The Second Class Saloon was the name of
his establishment in Nome. Built in the common
boomtown style of row buildings, this saloon is
unique for its unusual false front and the
colorful signage. Our kit represents the
building as it might have looked as a
freestanding building. Included with the kit is
window material, decals and printed signs and
window interiors. The kit fits in a 3.5" x
4.75" footprint and is easy to assemble. |

Valley Feed & Seed
HO Kit #5911 $27.50Our feed store is
typical of many structures found in agricultural
communities throughout the US from the 1920's to
present times. Our proto-type is a feed store
located in Salina, Utah--adjacent to the D&RG
tracks. The footprint for the building is 3" x
5" and we supply the boardwalk out front as well
as a scale platform for one side. The kit is
full of great details, including plenty of feed
sacks and great signs. |

East Terrible Mill and
Mining Company
HO Kit #5901 $29.00
The East Terrible is a 10-stamp mill complex,
proto-typical of many built in the 1890's--not only in
the West, but also throughout the world. Our kit
contains enough parts including windows and doors, for
one stamp-mill building, one lean-to and two auxiliary
buildings. The different building components can be set
together in several configurations, making the kit
adaptable to your layout needs. By combining two kits,
the mill buildings can be connected, representing a
20-stamp mill. The mill as shown in our photo sits on a
10" x 10" footprint. We add plenty of detailing parts to
make your model complete--including the cribbing,
trestle, track and ore car. |
