New Haven Tower

The New Haven Tower kit is based on actual drawings of the New York & New Haven Railroad’s “standard” reinforced concrete interlocking tower.  This design was created in the early 1900’s (drawings are dated 11/16/15) and replicated at dozens of locations along the New Haven’s busy Northeast Corridor mainline.  The finished model measures 1 1/2"(L) x 1 3/4"(W) x 3"(H) and has a retail price of $45.95 (Model# NHN005 Item# 10005).

Cal Fame Packing

THE LATEST PRODUCT RELEASES FROM OUR

Master Craftsman Series Laser Cut Wood Kits

Available in Both N Scale and HO Scale

Coming Soon in Z Scale

The 'Williamstown Coal' kit is now available in N-Scale and in HO.  This kit is based on a pair of retail coal structures that still stand in Williamstown, Massachusetts.  Though the exact date of their construction is unknown, we estimate that they were originally built in the late 1800’s or early 1900’s when coal was the primary source of fuel for heating homes and powering businesses.  These coal retailers were served by the Boston & Maine Railroad and remained operational through at least the 1950’s.  Though they are based on specific prototypes, their design is typical of retail coal structures that once were present in just about every town along the railroads in the northern half of the United States. 

The N-Scale model measures approximately 5"(L) x 3 1/2"(W) x 4"(H), HO is 10"(L) x 7"(W) x 8"(H), and  Z is 3 3/4"(L) x 2 1/2"(W) x 3"(H).  Each kit includes the detail parts shown in the photos, additional details are available below. .

Lackawanna Coal Company

We are proud to announce our latest laser-cut wood kit, the Lackawanna Coal Company.  Like our other laser-cut wood kits, it feature comprehensive instructions with a complete set of actual-size elevation and floor plan drawings complimented by step-by-step text, tips & techniques and assembly photos.  It is cut from micro-plywood rather than milled basswood sheets for improved durability and resistance to warping and features a system of tabs & slots and etched positional lines that speed assembly.  Also included in this kit are corrugated aluminum roofing, full-color roof paper and printed glazing with mullion details. 

The prototypes that inspired the Lackawanna Coal Company kit were located in the Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. In these immense structures, know as
"breakers" or "collieries", the hard shiny anthracite coal was brought from a mine shaft or drift and then washed & broken into sizes usable for home heating & industrial processes.  Breakers of the size and type represented in this kit were typically built in the 1930's as a means to consolidate the production of several smaller older processing plants and many of them were still operational into the 1970's. At their peak, there were hundreds of these structures in operation and the several thousand employees that worked in them could process as much as 12,500 tons of coal in a single day. Coal was brought to the breakers for processing from the surrounding mines via extensive mine railroads and conveyors that could literally stretch for miles. 

The Lackawanna Coal Company kit (Model: LCC504) covers an area of 10"(L) X 11"(W) X 6 ½"(H) and retails for $149.95.

The Rode-A-Way Transfer Company is designed with the flexibility to support rail-to-trailer, trailer-to-trailer or rail-to-rail trans-loading operations. There are two(2) rail loading platforms included in this kit that can be used on either side of the model. With these platforms, the modeler can choose to have tracks on both sides, one side or no sides (trailer-to-trailer transfer) of this structure. Instead of these platforms, the modeler can use the "rubber bumpers" also included in this kit to support trailer loading (again, on either side of the model).

A full set of elevation drawings and laser plate maps are included with the step-by-step instructions included with this kit. All detail parts and figures shown in the attached photo are included.  The prototype for this model was built in 1950's and is still in use today by the "Roadway" Trucking Company. If there is enough interest, we will be offering an expansion kit to allow for larger loading facilities.
