Even though the depot is from a 2-foot prototype, it's a great station for any shortline. The kit includes a 33-page, spiral bound instruction manual with 54-photos, and sells for $145, postpaid to the US and Canada.

Boone Depot (BD-S) $95.00. Made in the USA. Boone Depot model kit includes:
• Laser cut walls, roof, windows, doors & platform
• Tar paper roof
• White-metal chimney
• Detailed Instructions Download PDF (664 kb)
S Scale Kit dimensions: 6.975 " x 20"
Boone Depot was located at the eastern terminus of the Linville River Railway in Boone North Carolina. Depot construction began on May 20, 1919 by a local builder Hodges & Wyke and was completed sometime after July 10th of the same year. The building initially served as a rail passenger and freight station and later as both a rail and bus station. The great flood of 1940 brought destruction to the Linville River Railway and the Boone depot was sold to H.W. Wilcox for use as a warehouse until its removal in 1968 by the state of North Carolina. This a limited run kit and only 50 will be produced!
Clever Models - art
crafted, computer precision card model structures.
What makes these unique is that Thom Miecznikowski uses his background as a special effects artist and a huge library of photographic resources to create computer precision and photo real kits that are fun to build. According to Tom, "People who see the built kits at hobby shows have consistently reached out to touch them not believing that they are paper. They also want to know what the inside structure is but its all paper. While we aren't currently laser cutting the kits, the photo finish of the kits seem to be a welcome trade off."
The kits are easy to build and the cutting that the hobbyist is required to do is not very challenging. The company also offers 32 (currently with more to come) self stick texture sheets of things like tar paper, brick, clapboard, steel sheets, corrugated metal and such.
Their Jefferson Ice Co. is one such S scale cardstock structure that caught my eye. See photos at: http://clevermodels.com/tn_jefferson-ice-house-front-copy_sm.html It is also very affordable at $15.00 (as of 5-13-05)

building parts in S scale. Write to:
Often times Grandt Line doors and windows are
included in S Scale building kits. This is the case with some of the Twin
Whistle Co. structures that Doug Peck is offering through
Port Lines Hobbies.
Some "S" modelers use Grandt Line doors when kitbashing a model from HO or
building a structure from scratch.
Grandt Line does have a good selection of doors and windows in different sizes
and styles. They are made of plastic and are easy to work with based on my
own experience.

Railmaster Exports
S Gauge Figures. Railmaster has one of the best buys available
on S scale figures...and they are pretty much true to scale. Not quite as highly
detailed perhaps as the Arttista figures, Railmaster's remain, in my opinion,
the best buy for the money. Most of the figures on my home layout are from Railmaster
Exports. These are my choice for the best buy in S scale figures.
