P/N S25 WHITE CASTLES

Our model of White Castle’s come in 2 versions. One is the typical white brick and the other is a porcelainized steel plate.

The pictures included with the kit show a greatly over sized exhaust duct that has been reduced in size after these pictures were taken. White Castle’s is also found on our 1st. Street DVD along with 7 other buildings.

Rudy’s Printing is a typical 2 story brick building found all over the country. It has some really nice architectural details like the cast iron 1st. floor facade.

We call this a machine shop, but this building could be almost anything. It is very typical of small brick industrial buildings found everywhere. It looks even better when extended to twice its depth. The side shed & water tank can be located anywhere. There are also optional roof vents that can be used in place of the windows.

The building measures, 37’ Deep x 42’ Wide and 33’ Tall.

O Scale $9.95, HO Scale $7.95,

P/N S55 THE BUNKHOUSE

The Bunkhouse, as we like to call it, is very typical of a small residence that you would find all over Australia. Usually they would be built on brick or wood pilings. Buildings like this would also fit right into a Louisiana Bayou, or a Florida swamp, just about anything backwoods. Be great in a logging camp. The footprint of this model is 23’-0 x 23’-0 and 17’-0 Tall.

P/N S54 BEATTIE'S GROCERY

Beattie’s Grocery has been a Southern California establishment for decades. Now closed, the building is still in fairly good shape. We were lucky enough to be provided with many great photos to work with. The front porch is especially, interesting, with its ornate ceiling.

The building is fairly large, being 49’-9 Deep x 30’-3 Wide and 23’-0 Tall.

P/N S52 ENCLOSED HEX WOODEN WATER TANK

Enclosed water tanks could be found along the right-of-way of many railroads in the colder climates, where the water had to be protected from freezing. Tanks, similar to this one, were found on the CP, CN and the O&W. The capacity shown here is about 60,000 gallons, but because of the ease of kit-bshing a cardstock model, can be built larger or smaller to suit your needs. The windows, doors and spout can be located in just about any position. Rigging for the spout is not included. This is a fairly easy structure to build and scales out at 46’-6 tall x 26’-6 across the flat sides and 30’-6 across the corners.

P/N S50 ROYAL IMPORTS

This is what we would describe as a beginner level kit.  Something to learn the basics of Card Modeling on without investing a lot of time or money.  It is a “Low Relief Flat”, meant to be positioned against a backdrop.  With a bit of creativity and some additional material, it could be made into a complete building. If you purchase the N Scale version, you also receive a surprise additional kit, The Double Peak Wooden Warehouse flat.

P/N S48 THE WATER TANK at GORRE

This is our version of John Allen’s famous Gorre Water Tank. Previously, it has only been available on DVD, but it’s such a great structure, we had to make it available here. It’s not an exact copy, but you get the flavor of this historic structure. This is a fairly easy structure to build and just screams to be kit bashed. I’ve used the base building many times. It’s a great little brick building, all by itself. Details & Base shown are not part of the kit. O scale model shown, built by Jim Gore.

O Scale $9.95, S Scale $7.95, HO Scale $5.95,

P/N S47 HABBAKER'S GARAGE

This was a difficult building display properly. Mainly because of it’s complex shape. It is a large, two story brick garage with some very interesting lines. You can just about see that there is a wooden staircase, to the second floor, against the left wall. This building is also available as part of our “First street” DVD. This is another of John Kosma’s designs from his Gypsy Trolley Line. Also included, is a shadow box, showing two antique cars. You can put it in the doorway, if you decide to build with that door open.

P/N S46 WESTERN STOREFRONT 01

As the title implies “01” probably means that there will be more of this style of structure coming in the future.  We have had allot of requests for some Western motif structures.  No particular prototype for this one, but I think you will agree that this is a good start to what will be a line of generic Western prototypes.  This structure comes with a complete interior and at least three different signs.  There are also enough “extra” parts for you to model at least three fairly distinctive looking buildings with one kit.    (The N Scale version will be available shortly.)

P/N S45 The CANNERY

This factory complex doesn’t come from any specific prototype. It depicts a Peach Packing Plant that could be found anywhere across the South. It fits into just about any era and local. The main building is kind of “T” shaped, with a really interesting roof line. There is also a unique looking cupola and lean-to’s that can be located in different places.

P/N S43 AMERICAN STEEL PIPE WORKS

American Steel is typical of mill buildings found all over the U.S. It is a low-relief kit, meant to fit against a backdrop. That doesn’t mean that it has less detail. Another great kit for experienced or beginning modelers. This is a relatively big model as illustrated by comparing it to the HO vehicles in the picture. (Not included) This kit is easily modified and extended. It combines with other Clever models industrial kits to create large complexes.

P/N S05 GATEMANS' TOWER

The Gatemans Tower is based on a prototype on the Milwaukee road in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
This 1920’s vintage gate house was in operation well into the 70’s. I know of other octagonal gate houses in other locations and, in fact, saw one here in a Chicago rail yard.
In O scale this kit has a footprint of barely 2”, however the staircase extends another 3” further out.
The building experience was a real pleasure.
Its a challenging kit that demands careful attention but as you can see, makes a striking building.

Comes with 2nd floor interior.

This small industrial building is a compilation of several small factories. It could be a small forge, glass blowing plant or heavy machine repair shop. It features a large rooftop window bay, a sheet metal roof, vents and blowers.
There is a tall freight door on one side.
The roof bay can be shortened or left off all-together, so combining multiples of this kit to create a big industry is a natural.

P/N S12 BRICK GARAGE

A brick, 2 bay structure, that was found while touring the alleys of Chicagos’ Rogers Park neighborhood. What caught our eye, was the slightly larger size and the loft above the garage doors. Buildings like this were common to urban neighborhoods, which often had (and still have) small industries running “out back”. This would make a great auto shop, welding shop, out building or even a garage. This kit comes with 2 different roofs, several types of doors, a small dormer and a small shed. This is a fun and easy kit.O Scale $6.95, S Scale $5.95, HO Scale $4.95, N Scale $3.95

Ice distributors like the Jefferson Ice Co. were a common, even iconic sight found in most moderate sized towns.
From the 30’s through the early 60’s, they supplied ice in blocks and cubes to industries and homes until ice became a do-it-yourself activity. The Jefferson Ice Company was torn down in late 2008. We were fortunate to find it, before that, in Des Plaines, IL. Only available here as an instant download.
