Ameri-Towne buildings

Are you referring to the Ameritowne series?  I have quite a few of them and none came assembled. They are however pretty easy to assembled. I used Roberts brick and mortar formula for making the brick look more real and I painted teh windows and doors as applicable. I used canopy glue to cement in the windows since it dries clear. Hope this helps.

Great tips, Bill.  I have a few kits I haven't assembled yet.  Thanks.

(Bill Park) Thank you, for that information. That's great information for anyone that's planning on buying these kits.

Jim:  At one time OGR sold assembled/painted models.  From the website that does not seem to be a current offering.

Jim I believe Muffins has advertised they sell Ameri Towne buildings and they will also assemble them if wanted.

Guys....our line of buildings ship out of Mr. Muffins trains warehouse.  We once offered them assembled under the "Ameri-Builts" name but the model maker/artist had a health issue and has not been in contact with any update to let us know if she can start offering her services again.  So....officially from OGR, we do not currently offer them assembled.  If there is someone in the Indianapolis area that would like to discuss providing their modeling services, please contact me directly at adman@ogaugerr.com

Hey, that stuff looks messy. Is a mason included in or with that jar? I still have the Savings and Loan that I need to put together at some point in time. How is my railroad ever going to get bonds to build it?

I suspect that DuckDuckGo search will yield several places; and, just maybe one of our sponsors carries it.

I have a garage cabinet stuffed with unopened, unassembled Ameri-Towne kits; some are complete buildings, some are building fronts only.  I initially bought them for placement along the upper level of my 15x19 L-shaped layout, then changed my mind. I placed Department 56 lighted porcelain buildings from the North Pole Village series up there instead. Not the first time my good intentions went awry.

If an OGR FORUM-ite, wants them (an inventory list is attached) make me an offer for all of them. Contact me via my OGR profile.
