Is it a Bank, Library or City Hall?
This building has so many uses that it's sure to become a landmark on your
layout. It's based on a prototype railroad YMCA, but you'll have your own
ideas for it. Along the railroad, it's a great division/shop headquarters
or administration building at yards and large industries. In town, it's a
classic bank, library, city hall or police station. The kit includes
realistic decals for several uses so you can customize it to fit your
scenes.
* Neat Addition to Yard & Terminal Scenes
* American Prototype
* Fits early 1900s to Present
* Detailed Brick Work
* Stone Trim
* Use as Bank, Police Station, or City Hall too!
* Decal Signs
Railroad YMCAs were a home away from home for many railroad workers. They
were part of the Young Men's Christian Association, an international
organization that promoted the spiritual and mental improvement of young,
working men. Railroads financed or constructed these facilities as
bunkhouses for train crews and workers living away from home while on the
road. Railroad YMCAs offered clean dormitory facilities, eateries,
libraries, entertainment, spiritual education and a wholesome environment
for railroad employees. The Railroad YMCA kit is an early-1900s brick
building typical of those that once housed railroad workers. They were
usually convenient to the train station or other railroad facilities.
