heljan building kits

 thanks..so you would say the 2 bay engine house is worth $100 in kit form and you would buy again?

joe

I too feel that $100 is a little steep for this engine house.  I believe that Atlas is now the marketing this engine house and their price may be in that range.

I have one that I purchased years ago before Atlas gained the rights to it that is new in the box.  I am asking $65 plus shipping if you are interested.  Shipping would be from about 90 miles from you.

This make a nice engine house or the walls are great for kit bashing.  I have a large three story brewery on my layout that was made using these walls.

Happy railroading,

Don

Great pics, Frank. You are a modelling master!

Beautiful work, Frank.   I love the tunnel portals.

I did just the opposite in that I needed a larger and longer servicing building so as you can see from the photos, I combined two of the kits to increase the length.  I made a template of the interior contour of the roof and then made additional roof braces/supports.  This allowed me to use the often warped roofing parts that come with the kit.  Also, you can see that I have used this kit to for the various servicing buildings in the diesel facility....  I think you will enjoy the kit as it is a great value...

Leavingtracks, are you sure you have enough UP diesel power?  That is more armor yellow in one place than I have seen in ages!  

Yes, I was wondering who was keeping these manufacturers in business.

Lee...Phil...  Yes, I kind of "like" UP power!  Believe it or not, what you see there is about half of what I have in the UP road name.  At one time, I had thought that I was going to concentrate on a couple of western roads and then have operating sessions....

Thanks,

Alan

Thanks Frank

I was leaning toward the Korbin model but you may have just changed my mind. Really nice work and I especially like the reverse inside wall idea.
