"HO" Scale

This little kit was based on an article by Sam Swanson.  We pictured it as something you'd see at the end of the line, possibly in a "Trolley Park"... set-up  some fruits & vegetables around it and you have a farm stand.  The fact is, these are almost as common today (especially in rural areas) as they were in the 1920's.  Our friend Bill Brown beath the heck out of his and placed it on a busy street as a newspaper stand.  Get the idea ?... it's the interpretive part of modeling that makes it fun !


"O" Scale Diorama By Frank Bernard





   This little kit is typical of not only lunch stands but of any small vending operation... anything from watermelons to flowers and fresh produce are displayed along roadsides all over the U.S. in this typical setting.  Easily built, the kit is complete with some interior details, some castings, and the billboard as shown.  You’ll want to add even more goodies to complete your scene once this little “cutie” is in place.  All 4 scales are available through your local retailer or through “Bar Mills Direct”.  We won’t list the “footprints” of each individual scale this time around, as the kit is both physically small and lends itself to different billboard vs. structure placements.
