N&W station

[NW Modeling List]

The Roanoke Rails model, produced for them by American Model Builders, 
represents the N&W Standard Station No. 2.  These were board and batten 
construction and a combination station design.

It has a smaller footprint than the Standard Combination Station which is 
shown in the N&W Standards Book offered by NWHS.

I believe copies of the plans for both these designs have been offerings 
from the archives through the NWHS Commissary.

The Roanoke Rails kits builds into a nice structure.  It was a very early 
effort in the genre of laser kit offerings; but the basic construction 
methods are the same as "current" laser kit offerings.

The square chimney casting included with the kit is just a stock casting 
offered by AMB.  The chimney on the actual N&W depots of this design was 
much more rectangular.  You can use what is provided or build your own 
chimney.
