O/On30 1:48 Scale M. Spillane Building
designed by Thomas Yorke
50th Year Anniversary
"This Victorian Building is perhaps the most complicated design I have attempted in my career. Many hours of design and redesign were logged into the creation. All in all, it was a fun project, but very time consuming. The building was built in 1891 as a two-story affair with a corner entry and turret. Fancy stonework along with brick are the materials with stamped and cast metal architectural trim details added. Very typical of the era. Examples of buildings such as this can still be seen across America. Some are in especially fine shape while others are run down or abandoned." ~Thomas Yorke
This is a brand new, never before produced Thomas Yorke kit featuring a two story Victorian era brick corner building with a cut stone facade and a corner entrance. The second story corner turret with a witch's hat roof makes this building a unique addition to your layout. Street Level boasts a Soup Kitchen while the second story is home to M. Spillane, Private Eye, T. Alper Accountant and Universal Exports. The Soup Kitchen can be easily rebranded into a cafe or any type of business you desire. Sections of sidewalk are included with opening doors for the freight elevator to the basement. The rear addition serves as the kitchen for the cafe. This kit also comes complete with a fire escape for the apartments on the second floor. The patterns are hand carved by Tom himself.
