  Just wanted to share this fantastic structure that's in the Korber line up.

Here's photos of the build, you can also see it at the Korber models booth at York in the Orange hall.

Thanks for Looking, Alex

Pictures will be uploaded in a few minutes

Yes Alex, this confirms where I will be headed and picking up a kit. Can you share with us the brick color and the type of paint you used? 

Nice job. I have the power light office building that is molded in color, it will need to be painted. but I am having problems deciding what colors the bricks should be. Color is everything.

Dave, This structure will look great on your layout, as any structure would !!!

Gene, everything is included to complete the kit, the Masonite you see i add for extra strength. I tend to over build.

Silver Lake, I'm fairly sure this is a new design by Rich from Korber, i don't think Pecos had this in their line up.

Prrhorseshoecurve, yes it's finally here !!!

John, The brick color is Rust-o-leum Rusty metal primer, i use this color for most of my brick. For the General Light and power i also use this color. See you at York .

FOOTPRINT  23 1/2 WIDE, 6 3/4 DEEP, 18 1/2 HIGH

Thanks, Alex

Alex, nice work! I got this kit for Christmas from my lovely wife and can't wait to get started on it. 

Did you add the hole in the column for the dowel rod or was that the way it came? Looks like that is a great idea for added rigidity. 

Hi Pete, thanks. I added the hole in the column, i use to be a carpenter so i always over build lol!!!! It made the column much much stronger.

Thanks, alex

is it available as a complete, free-standing building?  I'm out of open wall space, but probably could find a bit of "real estate" adjacent to a track, somewhere.  I always wanted someone to offer a "modular" building that could be built according to a person's needs.  That space open under the 2nd floor;  Would that be tall enough to accommodate a siding under there?  That would help keep the square footage a bit less than otherwise. Got to check with Korber next week.

Alex Nice Build!

 

The kit is now on line for shipment, and will be at York.  You can also order it as a kit or as part of our Korber Komplete and Alex will build it for you.

The kit can be built either in all Concrete or in the Concrete and Brick as Alex did.  The Kit is modular, so you can build it in any way you want.  It can be made as a stand alone if needed by re configuring the kit.

The elevation of the first level is high enough to pass a train through it.  Here are some more photos.

Alex,

Just want to thank you for posting this information on Ted's Textiles.  I got the kit a few weeks ago from Mr. Muffins/Korber.  The instructions are very limited and I have been trying to figure out how this all goes together. 

Without your post I might have ended up just using the whole project for spare parts !! The pictures you have posted really show how the upper and lower sections go together. They do not have any of that information in the instructions sheets.

Many thanks for your pictures I will now be able to complete the building.

Thanks Eliot,  Gene

Bond, it is now available on the Korber site

Paul it is now available on the Korber site as a kit or option to have it built up, the building is designed to accommodate a train to pass under it, There's  approximately 5 1/4 inches of height.

Thanks, Alex

Alex, does it have sufficient width to use Fastrack?

Hi Kenn,

I'm fairly sure it does have enough width, if not you can simply trim the sides of the fastrack.
