The third most numerous structures on the layout will be
company stores. While there were stores constructed of brick,
for the most part they were of wooden construction and all of
them had a family look to them. For this layout, there will be
four company stores. Three will be based on the buildings on
the Buffalo Creek and Gauley and will be at Dundon, Swandale,
and Widen. These were large, multiple-story buildings with
feed buildings as annexes. The only exception to this will be the
store located near the Joller tipple (Pearson Coal Company).
This will be an expanded Sodaville country store from Sidetrack
Laser. I took a background kit and added a rear annex to the
building to enlarge it.

Adams. These structures were scratchbuilt using board
by board construction. More detail will be added in the
future when these are installed on the layout.
