Jhuff:

May not be the problem, but 'Arctic' is spelled with two 'c's.

Don't be embaressed - I have made the same mistake myself.

Perhaps if you google it with the right spelling you might get some results, although Google usually compensates for those of us with poor spelling.

EDIT: I put my money where my mouth is and googled it under the right spelling. I got nadda, so the OP is going to have to rely on fellow forum members for any experience with the kit.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!

White Ground Model Works made a kit called  Atsan Ice Company  in N Scale:

I tried to sell my two cents worth, but no one would give me a plug nickel for it.

I don't have a leg to stand on.

Don't be too harsh on Jhuff, he may be a Canadian, "arctic" is pronounced artic in Canada, a sure giveaway  for a Canadian to spot an American.  An anology is Connecticut, it's pronounced  kuh-NET-tih-kut.  forget the second  "C"    Spelling has nothing to do with pronunciation especially between Canadian and American speech.

I wasn't trying to be harsh at all, especially because I hate it when someone does that to me when I post. The irony of my post was that I couldn't figure out how to spell 'embarressed' DunceLaugh!

Without the intention to hijack the OP´s thread, Dave, "embarressed" is spelled "embarrassed"Smile, Wink & Grin

Don't be too embarrEssed - - - Actually I'm very grateful when others correct my spelling mistakes, I'm sure the person is being helpful rather than criticizing the mispeller (is there such a word?)

So anyway, I found what I was looking for. It is actually a "Cold storage" building by "Heljan". However I have a conveyer and a small building that appears to go with it but none of the pictures help. any suggestions???

 

Thanks for the help and the laughs......
