Yes, these are exactly the same kits as the Apple Houses. A customer was
thinking that he could probably use one of my apple houses for the orange
industry he was modeling in southern California. Why didn't I think of that?
So I have changed all the artwork, recipies and labels to oranges.
Each is 33' wide by 120' long in HO! (4-1/2" x 16-1/2")
The walls are of modular design and can be arranged as you like.
An extra 100 orange crates (100 are included in each kit) are available too.
Includes full color orange crate end label art.
My brick version is similar to the Great Nothern's Olds Station apple faculity,
in central Washington, and the concrete version is an adaptation there of. And for
the bumper crop, we combine the two for a two-story brick over concrete version
best built into a hillside (1-1/2" tall) along its length.
These unique buildings could be used on your railroad for a variety
of other line side industries besides fruit. How about tabacco leaf warehouse in
Wisconsin for instance? We found a photo which the two-story model could easily
represent. There are lots of plausible uses. You can probably think of one for
your model railroad.
Kits include my fine scale white Hydrocal wall castings and seamed metal roof
constructed in styrene. Ten pages of step-by-step instructions including some
delicious apple recipes. You'll want to pre-heat your oven to 350° right
now.
NOTE: these models were unavailable for quite a
while, however, we are just bringing them back out.
Please feel free to reserve yours today!

My Apple Valley opertating display was a big hit at the 2004 NMRA National
Convention held here in Seattle summer 2004 where I've placed all three versions.
There was a lot of interest in the packing houses and we hope to have them
available again shortly. Let me know if you are interested. Write to reserve.
