Branchline's Laser-Art structures are designed to be built with a minimum of
fuss. The kits include precision laser cut wood parts engineered with tab
and slot construction and utilize peel and stick trim for maximum ease of
assembly. Detailed instructions with clear diagrams are included in every
kit. Cast-resin details for that finishing touch are included as
appropriate.
The prototype was located in Livingston Manor, NY and is typical of small
town general mercantile stores. Originally built in the 1880s as a general
merchandise store, over the years it housed a barbershop, drug store,
offices, even a hobby shop! Set alongside the railroad tracks, side doors
allowed access to railroad cars. The building stood until destroyed by a
fire in the 1970s. Kit includes resin interior details.
