Fieldstone structure kit
Posted by santafejeff on Tuesday, December 21, 2021 7:42 PM

This may be a question better suited for scenery section but here goes:

I have a structure kit that is molded in a fieldstone style pattern. Lots of windows, about 4" wide, 6-8" long and about 6" high. These are rough measurements. It is 2 stories tall with a narrow "3rd" floor in the middle along the length. Almost looks like a bell tower but it apparently will run the length of the structure. 

I have no instructions for this kit and there are no part numbers stamped on the inner wall pcs so I know its not a Walthers kit. If anyone has a clue as to what the name or manufacturer of this kit is, pkease let me know. 

Thanks in advance

Well, no need to post your personal email here, but, pictures would help.

So, read the "sticky note" on posting pictures at the top of the "General Discussion" Forum", and lets see what you have!

Yes it isn’t good to put your email address where SPAMERS scan see it.  Remove it and there is a place in “your profile” for your personal email.

As Mike said post some pictures.

What scale is it?

It sounds like one of the iron works, Novelty Iron Works or Delany's Iron Works.

That what it sounds like to me too.  The old RDA kits.   I forget who bought the molds and is making them now.

Here's my version of the Novelty Iron Works, built with both long walls on the visible side of the structure (the back wall, along with interior partitions, and floors, plus the roof and its supports, were all done using .060" sheet styrene).

https://www.rail-scale-models.com/Delaney-Iron-Works-~-HO-Scale  I don't see instructions, but you could contact RSM.

 ETA:  There is a thread about that kit from wdcrvr, but I get an error every time I try to post a link.  HO Seeker has instructions from when the kit was made by Ertl, item 099-4687.  There are also build threads on railroad-line forums.

Excellent work, as always, Wayne.

I combined two kits here. Delany and another one I cannt remember.  You can see the building you reffer to is in the front with multiples of that same building  put together  to make on bigger on in back.  Unfinished abandoned building project.
