Ranakena Tofu Packing Plant. N Scale.
Release expected, Summer, 2008.

A very utilitarian design, not based on any prototype but reminiscent of countless trackside structures where shipping by rail was employed. This structure might be useful for other trackside uses, such as a creamery or transfer building, but all those yellow Swift Tofu Reefers are crying out for a place to load up.

This design will be test-cut soon. Structure will be approx. 11 1/2" long including loading docks. It will include a trim package consisting of one-piece laser-cut frames for use around the doors & windows. Roofing is expected to be corrugated metal roofing by Builders In Scale. Peel & stick shingle roofing by New Rail Models can be provided though not in pieces long enough to cover the roof plane without some careful splicing of sheets.
