White Ground Models?

[markpierce]

I bought a couple of their station structures (small and smaller) and built one (smallest) of them. The kit technology was a bit old, but the one I built turned out nice. Somewhere buried in my railroad closet is the unbuilt kit.

White Ground Models was a company that produced excellent craftsman kits in the 1970's-80's. I don't know if they are still around or not but if and when you find one of their kits you will be very pleased. They were usually cast plaster pieces for the main structure with wood, cardboard and plastic additional parts. They were very accurate and assembled into fine looking buildings.

Many hobby shops still have them on their shelves. They are in white boxes and normally have a small b&w photo of the finished model on the box. Since they are somewhat scarce you have to call each shop and ask for them as they won't usually be advertised in any hobby shop web site or ads.

A good place to find older and OOP kits is www.jaystrains.com.

If you model EBT then you REALLY need to find WGM kits as they produced a lot of their structures.

Good hunting!

I did a Google search on Whiteground models and came up with several shops that had them listed in their product lines. Might be a way to start that way.

I've been in model railroading for over 40 years and have never heard of them. It must have really been a specialty manufacturer. From the looks of the photo, they are craftsman kits that were probably extremely limited production.
