Ragg’s To Riches?
is selling an O scale
kit for Dolores Section
House. The prototype
was a private home
built from a Sears
house kit that was
later purchased by
the Rio Grande Southern Railroad for use as a section house
in Delores, Colorado. The kit can be built as the RGS had it
or as a standard Sears house. Although Ragg’s has previously
offered HO and S scale versions, this new O scale kit has been
completely redesigned from the ground up. Features include
chimney castings, door knobs, lock plates, hinges for the doors,
and positionable windows. Curtains, shades, a screen door, and
peel-and-stick shingles are included along with an outhouse,
and a backyard picnic table. The footprint of the finished
model is 6'' by 8'' or 6'' by 9.5'' if the optional rear addition
and back porch are built. The kit is priced at $125.00. Ordering
