Rusty Stumps Scale Models - Kelley's Landing Series of Kits


KELLEY'S LANDING AT FALL CREEK

So, what was the inspiration for this series of kits? It was a group of articles, *"Kemtron Waterfront Diorama"*, written by the late Al Armitage and published in the Narrow Gauge and Short Line Gazette back in 1980's. Al was a master model builder as he showed both in this series and in other model construction articles written over the years. We at RSSM are glad that Bob Brown of the Gazette recognized the quality of Al's modeling and continues to this day to provide an outlet for other craftsman model builders to share their experience with the rest of the model railroad world. The above 3D drawing was originated by Bruce West of Mainstreet Heritage. Bruce did the basic buildings and then they were fleshed out here at RSSM adding the siding, windows, roofing and scenic elements such as people, trees and the trucks. Bruce is a licensed architect so we knew we were in good hands getting the basics correct.

So, what's this mean for you, a Rusty Stumps Scale Models customer? Well, This is our newest offering to you in HO scale. But, it's not quite ready for "prime time" as the saying goes. There will be six kits in Kelley's Landing at Fall Creek and the first should be available by mid January 2008. After that we hope to have a new kit to offer every two to three months. The first, the Boarding house will be followed by the Gun Shop/Post Office and the Wharf then the I.O.O.F. Hall. The fourth will be the Hardware Emporium then the General Merchandise Store which is the only brick building of the lot. You can purchase all or just some of the kits. The setting can be as shown in this diorama drawing or you can set the buildings as you choose, together or apart. Prices will range (est.) from $49.95 to $74.95. Those purchasing the first kit will get first notice of the next kits availability. Additional information and details about each building, base dimensions of each building and the diorama footprint will be forthcoming at a later date on our website. Watch this website for more information, release dates and prices.
