HO Kowalski & Smith Welding Co.

The HO Scale (1:87) Kowalski & Smith Welding Co. kit represents a small welding and pipe fitting shop, just the perfect size to fit on a small model railroad layout. Though the kit has some interesting and challenging angles, I have designed the kit so that any modeler, beginner to seasoned pro, can create a gem straight out of the box.

The kit includes the following:

• detailed directions which include both written instructions in a font that is easily legible on your workbench and clear line drawings for each step of the building process
• advice on finishing and weathering
• jigs that ease construction and can be used to create parts for future scratch-builds or kit bashes
• a Masonite bass that can be used as a jig or as the foundation of the building
  
• Tichy window and door castings
• laser cut glazing for all the windows
• Northeastern scale lumber and aged clapboard siding
  
• standing seam metal roofing
• corrugated metal roofing
• laser cut tarpaper material
• laser cut sidewalks
• assorted signs including two color options and period pinup calendars
• BEST white metal castings: acetylene torches, oxygen tanks, oil tank, vent, & a flock of pigeons
• laser cut slots that make adding rafter tails a snap
• one of my stunningly detailed laser cut exhaust fan kits - makes two spare fans with parts to add to the diorama as scrap

The walls of the kit and posts on the work area all slot into the Masonite base so that you can be sure that your walls are square and plumb.
Including the base, the footprint of this HO scale model railroad structure is 4" x 6 1/4".

Please note:  this kit is not meant for children.  It is an adult hobby product.  Contains small parts.  Potential choking hazard.  In short, if you are thinking of buying this and putting it in your mouth.  Don't.
