Travel by train and you'll probably see older apartments just like these along the tracks. This model is based on Earl Smallshaw's original, which stands beside the right-of-way on his Middletown & Mystic Mines. A terrific detail for a big city scene, it fits well in steam- or diesel-era settings. The N scale kit includes parts for three complete buildings with laser-cut windows. Complete assembly instructions also provide information on building a diorama scene for the finished model.
