Scale Model
Masterpieces (debenllc.
com)is selling a Stone Gas
Station craftsman-type kit.
The basic structure was
originally sold by Thomas
A. Yorke in the 1980s
as the Short Line Stone
Depot. Production rights
to the kit were acquired
by Richard Bendever of
Deben Llc, who upgraded the kit with Kappler scale lumber;
Grandt Line windows, doors & roof detail; added detail cast-
ings, signage (Flying A, Shell Oil, and Sinclair); and full-size
drawings and assembly instructions. The molds for the struc-
tural castings are taken from Yorke’s original hand-carved
masters. Visit the above website for additional information on
availability and pricing.
