O/On30 1:48 Scale Walker Delivery Electric Truck
designed by Thomas Yorke
"The Walker Electric Truck was built between 1907 to 1942 when war supplies grew more important. The earlier trucks appeared somewhat similar in design and some of these units were kept in service until the early 1960's! They were popular for fleet delivery services. In those earlier years they didn't bother the horse-drawn wagons, due to their quiet nature. Needless to say, they were rather successful. The designs remained the same over the years, but the tires changed from wooden spoke to artillery and finally to pneumatic." -Thomas Yorke
Use this delivery truck for home delivery from the local general store or Railway Express Agency delivery. *Please choose the option above to build this kit with closed side window curtains or with open side window curtains.

On3/On30 1:48 Scale Sugar Cane Car
designed by Thomas Yorke
“I will start by saying that no two cane cars are alike. There are some subtle differences and then some fairly bold ones. This is a basic car, [so use this as a starting point to create your own unique variation of cane car]."~Thomas Yorke
On3/On30 1:48 Scale Pickle Car
designed by Thomas Yorke
"This 18' coffin style car belongs to the Pickapecka Pickle Company. A structure kit I did years ago. It was used to carry raw pickles to the pickling plant in three wooden barrels inside the car-shielded by the coffin sides. Both exposed tanks and shielded tanks were commonly used for such work. -Thomas Yorke"

On3/On30 1:48 Scale Side Dump Rock Car
designed by Thomas Yorke
"This model started while surfing the Internet for dump car photos. The design is pretty much universally found around the world on quarry railroads. The design is suitable for On3 and On30 but probably could be used in 1/35 scale too. If assembled with care, it will also dump to one side as per the prototype." ~Thomas Yorke
Brick Freight Depot
designed and produced by James & Anna Cleveland
Back in the late 1800's the Railroad was experiencing a large increase in incoming freight due to the booming mail order catalog industry as well as the various industries and businesses flourishing around Stinkwater Crik. The solution was to build a freight depot to accommodate the growing local economy. Later on this freight depot included a Railway Express Agency office to handle pickups and deliveries. It was always a highlight of the day for the REA truck to pull up with a delivery.
This single story brick freight depot full of character is the perfect link between your rail traffic and local industries and businesses. The roof extends on one side to cover the wooden platform next to the tracks. The other side is a perfect place to stage delivery trucks loading up the day's deliveries. Lots of opportunity to stage action packed scenes. Although this structure is not based on a specific freight house, it combines many elements that would be right at home in most settings.
Downtown Book & Flower Shops
designed and produced by James and Anna Cleveland
The law firm of Williams, Shakerton & Speare invested in a building located downtown in Stinkwater Crik. The main level storefront is rented out to Yorick who runs a quirky used book and manuscript store where many obscure manuscripts and first editions can be found. Next door is the quaint flower shop run by Ophelia. Beautiful arrangements can be found for any occasion; however, Ophelia tends to specialize in sympathy arrangements. Even though Yorick and Ophelia appear to be polar opposites, in the end they have more in common than you might think.
These 2 small brick shop buildings are a perfect addition to your downtown main street. Built in the 1890’s these would fit into any time frame up until current times. You can build them as newer, rundown or renovated according to your preference. The used book and manuscript shop is a brick building that boasts a set of bowed front windows to showcase the used book store on the street level and the attorney’s offices on the second story. An exterior covered stairway along the side of the building can be placed on either side which will allow you to place the flower shop on one side or the other. The flower shop has an ornate wooden front with interesting architectural details on the front. This is a shallow brick building with a metal clad cooler on the back side. The difference in depth on the 2 buildings gives lots of opportunities to detail the alley. And don't forget about the opportunities to detail the interior! This would be the perfect candidate for interior lighting and staging!
