Notes:
This laser-cut kit produces a structure that measures 21 inches wide and 3 inches deep (a shallow-relief building), perfect for those track sidings up against the backdrop of the layout, as is shown in the photo. The second photo shows the parts in the box. The kit is also known as the "Sunkist Packing Shed". The history behind this kit is that it was requested by a fellow S-scale model railroader who wanted this structure, which the owner of Showcase Miniatures, Joe Warren, had previously done in HO-scale. The NASG BOT at the time requested taking over the project, and the kits were eventually produced (required a minimum of 50 orders). Joe produced the kit and fulfilled the initial orders. Subsequent orders were then sold through his company's web site (the company now owned by Walter Vail and no longer producing S-scale kits). The model shown in the photo has been built as per the instructions (see the third photo), and additional details have been added, which included interior and exterior SMD LED lights (see the first photo).
