When I was at York last spring, I stopped by Korber Models and picked up the new radio tower kit. I finally got around to building it over the Labor Day weekend. Over those few months, I thought about what type of building to us to house the radio station. I remember seeing a MTH corner building radio station, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.
As a kid growing up in Frederick Maryland, I remember my dad taking me to the YMCA for swimming lessons and passing the local radio station WFMD in the early 70's. It was housed in a three story mansion on the corner of 7th and Markets streets.
Soon after, this building was torn down to make room for a parking lot. The radio station did move to another location in Frederick and is still broadcasting today.
This was the inspiration for what I did on the layout. First, I had to relocate two house trailers in order to put the building, radio tower, and transmitter building where I wanted it. Below, are some pictures of what the finished project looks like.
Here are some photos of the re-located house trailers.
