Ashmore Hotel - Kit (Plastic) -- Walthers Model Railroading




Walthers just announced this: Ashmore Hotel - Kit (Plastic) -- 8-5/8 x 4-7/16 x x 13-7/8" 21.9 x 11.2 x 35.3cm (933-3764) -- Walthers Model Railroading

Reminds me of the Hotel Gayon at Pulaski and Washington Blvd in Chicago, Nice feature is the kit comes with three different facades for different eras. That means you'll have to buy three kits and then swap them out depending on what era's trains your operating.  Maybe a fourth kit to modify for the boarded up era.

...and a fifth for the coming renewal?

Over at Mike’s Train House.  I didn’t realize they were doing them.  Check Out The Details And See It In Action: The HO GG-1 Electric

Great time for Eastern and New England modelers with Con Cor doing a Reading Crusader, a New Haven Blue Comet, and PPR MU Cars.  Now how about some IC electrics for us Chicagoans?
