Joe Rutter, owner of
Full
Steam Ahead
is selling an HO scale
laser-cut structure kit dubbed
Broderick’s Bicycle Shop. The
design of the limited edition
craftsman style kit is based on
an actual bicycle shop in San
Jose, California. Proceeds from
the sale of the kit will be used
to help Rutter send a promis-
ing young student to a high-level volleyball camp this summer.
Rutter told MRH that he and the student developed the kit over
the last few months during their lunch hours together.
Components in the 8” x 3.75” structure include a metal chimney
casting donated by Brian and Jill Bolinger of BEST Trains. Plastic
cast windows and doors are from Tichy. The roofing material and
interior walls, including wainscoting, are made of a new, easily
applied laser-etched “skin.” Also included are laser-cut bicycles,
laser-etched sidewalks, appropriate signage, and an octagonal
Victorian corner roof. The kit sells for $69.99 plus $10.00 shipping.
