HO HO-11 La Belle 1886 50' Open Platform Truss Rod Wood Coach - HO Scale Wood Craftsman Kit With Interior Details
Wood Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
This kit includes a sealed bag of aftermarket wooden coach seats and a cast metal toilet and sink. During the golden era of realistic train models, La Belle Woodworking Company created perhaps the very finest scale kits of early American passenger equipment. The kit features die cut hardwood parts (no balsa) such as pre-cut and scribed sides with all windows and doors factory cut, car ends done in the same fashion, carved clerestory roof, green-tinted clear clerestory window material, full underside details, metal details, building instructions and full size plans. I have seen these models built and they look identical to the real prototypes. NOTE: the car sides have been built. Quality of construction is 'excellent' but not absolutely perfect (not mint). There is no other assembly. The kit is complete with all parts and plans. Please read the article on this website about older HO train kits and the modeling revolution they caused in the late 1930s/1940s.
