CANADIAN NATIONAL FREIGHT HOUSE: Kit #1031 HO
Scale The prototype for this kit was first developed by the CANADIAN NORTHERN about
1909, and was adopted by the CANADIAN NATIONAL as its own standard small freight
house after the amalgamation in the early 1920's. They remained in use into the
mid 1960's and some still stand to-day as storage for maintenance of way
equipment etc. These were found in smaller towns particularly on the Canadian
Prairies. Our kit is made with laser cut Northeastern siding, and specially cast
windows and doors, colour coded stripwood, and full wainscot. A jig is included for easy
assembly of a realistic open stairs Complete easy to follow instructions with
many photographs is included. The footprint is 5.5" x 4.5". HO Scale

NATIONAL ENCLOSED WATER TANK: Kit #1013 HO Enclosed water tanks were as much a part of the
railway scene as grain elevators were to the
Canadian Prairies. They were used extensively by
virtually all railroads running in the cold
Canadian winters. Iin reality they were simply a
normal round water tank enclosed with a small
coal or wood heater inside to keep the water
from freezing. The device on the top was a water
level indicator. The large ball was attached to
a float inside and moved up and down with the
level of the water, thus a train crew knew how
full the tank was. This model of a CNR 60,000
gal. tank was common on this railroad. The CPR
tank was similar but was of 40,000 gal. capacity
thus was somewhat smaller. The water level
indicator was also shorter and with a thicker
shaft on the CPR version. This model has all of
the usual features of Kanamodel kits plus a
water spout by Grandt Line which can be moved, a
special cast water level indicator, a cast
simulated concrete base and self adhesive rolled
roofing. The footprint of this
HO scale tank is
4.5" x 4.5' and should be placed about 1" back
from the track center.

NATIONAL PORTABLES: Kit #1040 The word portable means different things
to the railroads than to the ordinary citizen.
When a building was referred to as portable by
the railroads it related to the foundation being
temporary, such as timbers or ties etc. rather
than concrete or stone which would be
permanent. Portable to the railroads did not
mean the building cold be picked up and moved at
will to a new location. It is believed that
referring to these buildings as portables the
railroads did not have to concern themselves
with the local building bylaws that would apply
to a permanent structure. Our set of two
buildings are based on CNR plans drawn in 1923.
Included is a 4 man "portable" bunkhouse and a
"portable" express office. Each has walls of
shingles and wainscot plus custom cast windows
and doors smoke jacks and bases for accuracy.
Campbell shingles are included along with Mt.
Albert scale lumber. The walls are a combination
of laser cut clapboard siding and shingled
chipboard. The footprints are 1.75" x 4.75" for
the bunkhouse and 1.75" x 3" for the Express
building. HO Scale
