Ragg's...To Riches? - new laser cut craftsmen kits in S Scale:

The Randolph Depot (located on the Kennebec Central RR), and if you've ever seen photos of it, the best way to describe it is "charming". It's a neat little Victorian depot with just the right amount of "gingerbread", an 8-sided tower, and an eyecatching 6-foot tall weathervane. The kit includes the prototype's 2-seater outhouse. 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.

The Sanders Water Tank -- an enclosed water tank located north of Phillips, Maine, on the Sandy River and Rangeley Lake Railroad. The EARLY version of the tank has tapered sides and a vented cupola.

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!

LASERKIT's by American Model Builders -- Laser kit S structures:

 

Heljan Brewery. This is an excellent and popular HO structure that can easily be used in S scale. There are 2 versions of this kit- "HO" and a smaller scale "HO/N" version. The larger kit, suitable for S, is Heljan # 807 (Walthers 322-807). The kits come with 2 sets of doors. In the 807 kit, the larger doors are approximately S scale. This kit is offered only as a brewery. The smaller version was also offered in a slightly different meatpacking variation. Walthers almost always offers this kit.

Crystal River Products is planning to produce some S scale structures based on their line of HO kits of Colorado (Western) style buildings. It will be a couple of months before the first S scale building is released.

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.
