A SHORT BIT OF BACKGROUND:

After designing model railroad structure kits for other manufacturers for more than 10 years (since 1993), we decided to take the next step and purchased a laser to produce our own line in 2004.  We currently have more than forty structure kits available in HO, S, and O scales, and have designed nearly 100 kits for the hobby.

ALL the kits in our line REPRESENT REAL STRUCTURES that either once existed or are still standing.  No caricatures!  We have worked to make them as accurate as possible.  More than once our customers have told us the finished models are of museum quality -- something of which we are very proud.

We only use the best of materials in our kits -- no cardboard, no plastic windows or doors.  All kits are laser-cut and engineered with an extensive slot and tab design for easier construction and a stronger model.  The roofing shingles are always peel-and-stick and are made from a special textured paper of a thickness appropriate for the building's scale.  If the structure incorporates an inner plywood core, all outer wall overlays are peel-and-stick as well as all windows, doors, and most trim.  We should point out that the adhesive used with our peel-and-stick parts is a very aggressive industrial product, far different than what most modelers have worked with in the past.  The bond actually becomes stronger over time.

Chimneys, finials, and detail parts are nearly always unique to each prototype, cast from new masters.  Decals, door knobs, and lock plates are always included.

Our instructions also set our line apart from others.  They have gained notoriety as being some of the best on the market.  We feel a modeler shouldn't have to "second guess" the assembly of a fine kit.  Step-by-step instructions accompanied by numerous photographs and Parts Layout Diagrams are included in each kit, as well as suggestions for adhesives, useful tools to have on hand, and paints for finishing your model.

Simply stated:  WE DON'T TAKE SHORTCUTS!

Although the kits are not extremely difficult to assemble (some are easier than others!), they may be a challenge for the first-time builder.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to hear from you!!

                  ....the "Ragg!"

(What's with the business's name?  Forty years ago I was tagged with the nickname "Ragg" due to certain personality traits (which have mellowed over the years).  The name stuck and my friends still address me as "Ragg" or "Raggman".  I initially considered several "railroad-type" names for the business, but thought I'd have a little fun for a change, be a little less serious, and simply call it "Ragg's".  The "...To Riches?" part was an afterthought and is purely wishful thinking.  I'll take no offense if the next time we see each other you call out "Hey, Ragg!")


DETAIL PARTS & STUFF!

I've finally stopped long enough to begin adding our many detail parts along with various odds and ends to the web page.  Until now, these items (totaling nearly 50 in HO, S, and O scales) have only been available at the shows we attend or by special request.  Logs, chimneys, smoke jacks, finials, the new S-scale baggage wagon and platform scale, railroad mugs, and more are now (or will soon be) available via the web page.   I've only listed a few parts for now, but will try to add more each week (hey, it's a big job!).   Clicking on "Detail Parts & Stuff!" (above) or any photo (below) will take you to the page!

WEST SIDE BUNK HOUSE:  (HO, S, and O-scale)  OUR NEWEST HO and O-SCALE KITS!!!

WBH-O        WBH_S
O-SCALE BUNK HOUSE                                   S-SCALE BUNK HOUSE

This is a simple little kit that's very versatile.  It's designed after the "generic" West Side Logging Company's bunk houses, but can easily be used as an outbuilding for any number of other applications -- railroad, industrial, commercial, or even a backyard shed.   The kit consists of an inner plywood core that's overlaid with sheets of pre-cut, peel-and-stick vertical siding boards.  Once the carrier sheet is removed, the boards look (and act) as individual siding planks.  The roof pieces are plywood with the ends slit to appear as individual boards on the bottom side (look closely!).  The roof is peel-and-stick tarpaper and the hold-down furring strips add an interesting, eye-catching detail.  Because the bunk houses each had slightly different characteristics, the kit includes three different options for the door and four different options for the windows.   Footprints:  1 x 2¾ inches (HO); 1 x 3¾ inches (S); and, 2½ x 5 inches (O).  Priced at $22 (HO), $28 (S), and $34 (O), they're affordable, quick to assemble, fun to build, and can add a lot of interest in a small area.  Order yours from the table at the bottom of this page.


THE DOLORES CONOCO PLANT:  (HO, S, O-scale) OUR NEWEST S-SCALE KIT!!!

CONOCO Plant
Dolores CONOCO Plant,  HO-Scale

Need somewhere to put those tank cars?  This is a great little kit for any railroad -- standard OR narrow gauge.  It depicts the CONOCO Bulk Oil Plant that was located along the Rio Grande Southern in Dolores, Colorado.  It goes a ways back in history, being built prior to 1916, and lasted at least until the end of the RGS in 1951.  The kit replicates the prototype as accurately as possible, including the four special-made storage tanks.  Four buildings are included:  the small warehouse, large warehouse, office, and garage, as well as the large platform and that tricky catwalk (connecting all four tanks).  Sorry, the tank car and Jordan truck aren't included, but the oil drums are.  For those that think they may not have room for all, some provisions have been made to allow the tanks and buildings to be rearranged to better fit your space.  Click on the above photo for more info.  The kit can be ordered from the table, below, or from the linked page.  (HO: $149; S: $220; O: $289, shipping is free to the US)


THE RICO DEPOT:  (HO, Coming in O-scale)

Rico Depot

The depot in Rico, Colorado, was built soon after the Rio Grande Southern arrived in town in the Fall of 1891.  With it's distinctive tower (destroyed by fire in 1936) and gracefully curved platform roof, the depot was probably the most photogenic of all those on the railroad.  Lasting until the end of the famous little narrow gauge line's life, it closed in 1951 and is no longer standing.  Even though this highly detailed kit (with more than 500 pieces and 12 sheets of our peel-and-stick shake shingles) can be built into a museum quality model, the 44-page instruction manual has been prepared for less experienced builders to tackle the project and produce a structure they will be proud to display.  Assembling the kit will require time (at least 60 hours) and patience.  Appropriate parts (windows, trim, and decals) for both the early version (with the tower) and the more "modern" version (as rebuilt after the fire) are included so either can be built.  Please click on the photo, above, for more information.  (The photo above illustrates the completed "tower" version of the model with our HO Depot Detail Set added, DP3007.)


BENCH TOP ORGANIZER:  (ALL scales)

BTO before           BTO after

Here's a handy, inexpensive helper to make your modeling more fun.  Our friend John Socha-Leialoha likes to be neat and organized when he's at his bench, so he designed this handy organizer for his frequently used tools.  For the fun of it, I gathered the tools I use most (at least those I could find), and collected them in a pile (left hand photo, above).  All the tools fit easily in the organizer, with room to spare (right hand photo, above).  Now I don't have to go looking all over my bench (or the floor, in open drawers, in the wastebasket...) for the tool I just set down a minute ago....somewhere.  It truly is a big help.  The organizer measures about 12-inches (30-cm) long by 4¾-inches deep (12-cm), and stands 3-inches (8-cm) tall at the back.  It has a total of 24 cells, three different heights, and includes 8 movable cell dividers.  Laser-cut from matboard, assembly is required...tools not included!  Order from the HO table below or on our Detail Parts & Stuff page.  ($16.00)


OURAY'S ENGINE HOUSE:  (S, O-scale)

OUE small

Even though the kit is specific to Ouray's prototype, it's a basic, 2-stall narrow gauge engine house, featuring operating doors, a removable roof, and a structurally detailed interior.  Once the roof is removed the trusses are exposed, along with all the interior framing and sheathing.  The S-scale kit is designed to handle C-18 and C-19 class engines, although K27s will fit, barely.  The O-scale kit was designed to fit K27s, and most K28s.  For more information and photos, please click on the above photo.


ENGINE HOUSE DETAIL SET:  (O-Scale)

DP1005 small

This detail set is intended for our Ouray Engine House, but is very useful for making any engine house or roundhouse appear much more realistic.  Some assembly and painting is required.  The set includes 66 O-scale details and sells for $79, postpaid in the US.  Click on the picture above for a complete listing of the parts and more photos.


GORDON KIMBALL STORE:  (HO, S, and O-Scale)

KIM Main Page

Gordon Kimball's store was located in Ouray, Colorado.  In the decade of the 1880's the store reportedly did more than $200,000 in sales annually outfitting the miners in the region.  The small footprint of the structure allows it to become part of any layout or diorama.  The removable roof allows an interior to be added at any time, and the large front windows as well as the interesting lettering make it a great point of interest.  For more information and photos, click on the picture above.  The kit is available in
HO-scale ($70), S-scale ($80), and O ($100), all postpaid in the US.


DURANGO'S SAND TOWER:  (O-Scale)

Sand Tower

The Durango Sand Tower is the perfect companion to both our Coaling Tower and the Durango Depot. The relatively narrow footprint (4 1/2 wide x 14 1/2 long) allows it to fit in most engine service facitlities.  The counterweight is functional, as well as the spout:  it both telescopes and raises/lowers.  For more information, click on the photo above.


BEL AIR DEPOT:  (HO-Scale)

Bel Air (small)


This beautiful little depot was located in Bel Air, Maryland, and originally served the narrow gauge Maryland Central Railroad.  The railroad eventually was widened to standard gauge and became part of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad.   The kit was developed for, and at the request of the MA & PA Historical Society.   It is our first venture into a truly "eastern" railroad structure, and judging by the response, won't be our last.  (The first two runs were sold out before I could list them here on the webpage!).  Special features of the kit include accurate prototype chimneys, simulated slate roofing for the second story, raised seam roofing over the platforms, and two types of doors and several sign configurations to accurately reproduce the structure during different periods.  Click on the photo above for more photos and information.


BLAKLEY'S SERVICE STATION:  (O-Scale)

Bkakley's

Our most detailed kit to date, Blakley's is an accurate reproduction of a Prohibition-era filling station that once existed in Kendrick, Oklahoma.  The outhouse, clothesline, and nearly 100 detail parts are included to add realism to the exterior of the station, and the removable roof allows access to three interior rooms complete with trimwork (interior detail castings are not included).  The authentic period graphics make this an outstanding model for any layout.  Please click on the photo for more information and photos.


ROADSIDE BILLBOARD SET:  (ALL SCALES)

bILLBOARDS1

This set of three period billboards is meant as an accessory for our O-scale Blakley's Service Station, but they work well in any scale.  Actual size is 4-inches (10-cm) wide 2-inches (5-cm) tall, and 1¾-inches (4.5-cm) deep.  Order detail part DP1007 from the O-scale ordering table, below.   $12 for a set of three.  (Assembly required)


DEPOT DETAIL SET:  (HO, S, and O-scale)  NOW AVAILABLE IN S-SCALE!!!

Depot Detail Set

We've put together a set of details that will add life to any depot.  The parts are made by Grandt Line, Bowser, BerkShire Valley, JAKS Industries, Tichy, DesignTech, Wiseman Model Services, and our own laser.  The sets include a baggage wagon, waiting benches, a Fairbanks scale, hand carts, crates, barrels, drums, luggage, tools, trash cans, a ladder, and more.  The O-scale set ($68) includes 54 parts, the HO set ($45) has 80, and the newest addition in S-scale has 79! Click on the picture above for a complete listing in each scale.  Order the O-scale part DP1006, S-scale part DP2011, or HO-scale part DP3007 from the table, below.


RANDOLPH DEPOT:  (S-scale)

rnd

Ever since designing the HO kit for Stevens Creek Models, we've been asked...and asked...and asked to produce the S-scale version.  Finally, for the 27th National Narrow Gauge Convention in Portland, Maine, I stopped long enough to work out the design and Lori produced the kits.  (A design as complicated as the Randolph cannot simply be "scaled up".  It requires starting with a blank page and drawing each part from scratch.)   The actual depot was located about an hour north of Portland and served the diminutive, 2-foot gauge Kennebec Central Railroad.  The kit includes the 2-seater outhouse and the fancy weathervane shown in the photo.  For more information and photos, click on the photo, above.


SANDERS WATER TANKS -- EARLY and LATE VERSIONS:  (S and O-scales)

STE small             STL small
Sanders Tank, EARLY version                      Sanders Tank, LATE version

The Sanders water tanks (EARLY and LATE versions) were located north of the town of Phillips, Maine, on the 2-foot gauge Phillips & Rangeley Railroad, later to become the Sandy River and Rangeley Lake Railroad.  The kits were designed and produced especially for the 27th National Narrow Gauge Convention in Portland, Maine.  The small footprint (3 x 3-inches in S and 4 x 4-inches in O) make them easy to add to most shortline railroads and provide a fascinating focal point.


DURANGO'S COALING TOWER:  (O,  S-scale)




Not recommended for the first-time kit builder, these kits are truly "super kits".  The O-scale kit rises 15-inches from the roadbed and has a pit that falls more than 2-inches below, measuring nearly 1 1/2-feet tall, top to bottom.   Both kits include all the details you've come to expect, including operating lights, a movable chute, brass H-beams, and dozens of Grandt Line detail parts.  This is a well designed, laser-cut kit...not a box of stripwood.  Click on the photo above for more photos and details.


THE ALADDIN GENERAL STORE:  (O, S, LIMITED RUN IN HO)

AGShtml
ALADDIN GENERAL STORE

Typical of many similar structures located in every corner of the country, the Aladdin General Store is a wonderful depiction of rural life in America during the early and mid-20th century.  The covered front porch, the five small additions, and the two outhouses in the rear speak of a slower life and a simpler time, when you could "sit a spell", enjoy a cool beverage, and contemplate things past, present, and things yet to come.  Once serving as a depot and freight station, it is now listed on America's Register of Historic Places and still serves the community of Aladdin, Wyoming.  The kit has been available in S-scale for sometime (as well as an optional S-scale detail set, available separately), but is now also available in HO and O.  The HO kit is a LIMITED RUN and includes more than 50 detail parts, some made just for this kit.  At most, 150 HO kits will be produced.  The O-scale optional detail set contains 36 castings from 7 manufacturers and can be purchased separately.  For more information and additional photos of the Aladdin kits, please click on the above photo.


TELLURIDE DEPOT:  (HO-scale...coming in O)

Even though it's been around since 1890 (well over 100-years!), I believe this is the first time the Telluride Depot has been available as an HO kit.  The kit has everything you've come to expect from us:  a highly detailed, highly accurate model that includes optional open freight room doors for interior detailing; peel-and-stick windows, siding, and trim; ten sheets of our own textured, peel-and-stick shake shingles; and, a 48-page, spiral-bound instruction manual.  By the time the design for this kit was finished, it included nearly as many parts as our HO Ridgway Depot.  For more photos and information, click on the photo below.  The kit may be ordered from the table at the bottom of this page or from the linked page.

MANCOS, COLORADO'S HOTEL LEMMON:  (O-scale)

Even though the Hotel Lemmon is from Mancos, Colorado, it would be at home in any part of the US, during any time period.  It's a turn-of-the-century hotel with a small footprint.  It's only 9 3/4-inches wide by 9-inches deep....but can be built as small as 5 1/2-inches (14-cm!!) wide.  Additional parts allow the small side addition to be built as a separate out building.  CLICK on the photo below for more history of the prototype and information about the O-scale kit.

FDW S small


THE HOTEL LEMMON'S SMALL BOILER HOUSE:   (O-scale)

When I designed the Hotel Lemmon kit, above, I made it an option as to whether the small boiler room addition was attached (as with the prototype) or assembled as a separate structure.  So many modelers would see the stand-alone version at shows and ask if it were available separately, that I finally developed a kit for it.  The uses of the small structure on any O-scale layout is limitless.  For a larger photo and more information on what's included in the kit (more than just the structure!), click on the photo below.  At only $25, it's our least expensive kit!

TELLURIDE'S F.D.WORK BUILDING:  (S and O-scales)

  AVAILABLE IN O-SCALE ALSO AS A "FRONT ONLY" KIT!!

It's one of the most famous commercial structures on the Rio Grande Southern and is now available in both S-scale and O-scale.  It's a classic old western structure built at the turn of the century and served by it's own RGS siding -- a rare thing, indeed.  It can be assembled in either of two configurations -- either with, or without the side stairway/loading dock.

For those "spatially challenged" O-scale modelers, we now offer the FD WORK Building as a "front only" kit.  The kit builds up into the full height and width of the prototype, but is only 1-inch deep.  (The boardwalk adds another 1.7-inches.)

CLICK on the photo below for more information on all three FD WORK kits that we offer.


FDW S small



TELLURIDE'S BRUNSWICK SALOON:  (HO,  S,  and O-scales)

One of our most popular kits, Telluride's Brunswick Saloon is now available in O, S, and HO.  Having a very small footprint, an affordable price tag, pre-printed gold lettering on the windows, a special chimney to match the prototype, a working exterior light, and brass bars on the windows and doors, it's a great little kit for many model railroads.  For more information and additional photos of the BRUNSWICK SALOON, click on the picture below.

TELLURIDE'S BATHS BUILDING:   (HO,  S,  and O-scales)

DURANGO DEPOT:  (HO, S, and O-scales)

Because it's still around and used as a narrow gauge depot, the Durango Depot may be the most familiar of all the Colorado depots to us modelers.  ALL three of the kits are true to the prototype's full size -- these are LARGE structures!  When complete, the O-scale model is 42-inches long!  CLICK on the photo below for more information....and to see the S-scale model in the 1920's paint scheme (really neat!).

RIDGWAY DEPOT:   (HO-scale)

The beautiful Ridgway Depot is now available in HO-scale!  The kit can be built to the prototype's full size (footprint of 6 x 20.5-inches) or a reduced size (6 x 15.5-inches).  The reduced size eliminates two of the freight room's doors.  Also included is the depot's outhouse/coal shed (photo inset).  Because of the complicated roof design and curved transitions, this kit is definitely not for the first-time builder, but the 40-page instruction manual with 51 photos should help!  It requires a bit of skill and a considerable amount of patience.  You'd better enjoy applying a LOT of peel-and-stick shingle material!  (Did you notice the special hex shingles on the tower?)

One of the more popular RGS depots, the Placerville Depot is now available in HO, S, and O-scale.  New masters were made for the chimneys and finial, and the O-scale kit even includes the water pump that the RGS had mounted on the depot's platform.

DOLORES SECTION FOREMAN'S HOUSE (Sears Mail-Order House):  (HO and  S-scales.  Coming in O-scale)

The RGS's Section Foreman's House in Dolores, Colorado, began as a private residence.  It was constructed from a Sears mail-order kit, and, as was typical of many neighborhoods throughout the country, was one of several identical structures on the same block.

DSH-HO


The HO kit, above, can be built either with, or without the rear porch addition, making it a very versatile structure for many layouts.  Click the picture above for more details.

The Section Foreman's House in S-scale, below, includes the main structure, the outhouse, and the clothesline poles.
Click the picture below for more details.

OURAY DEPOT:  (S and O-scales)

The S-scale Ouray Depot was the very first kit offered in our own line (December, 2004), and now it's also available in O-scale.  We've also assembled an optional "Depot Detail Set" of 54 O-scale castings to make your depot come to life.

JIM VAIL'S GILPIN HOTEL, LASER CUTTINGS:  (HO-scale)

We offer the laser cuttings for Jim Vail's HO Gilpin Hotel available.  Please note!  These are ONLY THE LASER CUTTINGS, some interior structural components, and the decal that Jim used to build his hotel, as described in The Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette, Nov/Dec, 2004 and Jan/Feb, 2005 issues.  You will need to supply a few additional parts to complete the structure, and follow Jim's instructions in the articles.  (Jim's model had a wooden addition on the rear.  There is no brick detail on the portion of the wall covered by the addition.  As an option, I have re-drawn this wall fully bricked.  If you do not plan on adding Jim's wooden addition (not included in the kit) and would like a fully-bricked wall, please mention it in the "Remarks" section of the Ordering Page, and I will substitute the new back wall.  I must add $15 to the kit price, however, to cover the additional cutting time.)

UPCOMING PROJECTS/NEWS:

Now that the S-scale Dolores CONOCO Plants are (finally!) shipping I'll dive right into the Hukill Mine kit -- something I've been planning to do for a long time.  I'll do my best to have it ready for the Sn3 Symposium in Houston, Texas, next February (http://www.sn3-2010.com).  I really don't see a problem meeting THAT deadline.  Immediately after the Hukill will be the O-scale Rico Depot, provided there's a window large enough to fit it in.  Have I forgotten the smelter?  NO!  If things go as planned, I'll be working on it from April through June of next year, hoping to have the majority of the HO version ready for the St. Louis National Narrow Gauge Convention (http://www.30ngconvention.org), September 1 - 4.

A few of you may have also heard of our plans for hiking the Colorado Trail (http://www.coloradotrail.org) next summer.  It's a 500-mile walk from Denver to Durango.  Lori and I expect it will take us 8- to 10-weeks to complete...so if there's a kit you're thinking of building next year, let us know in plenty of time -- a June departure is planned.

Here's a list of projects we're also looking forward to doing (i.e., committed to doing!) when time permits:
    HO-scale:  possibly the Hukill Mine
    S-scale:  Crested Butte Depot
    O-scale:  Telluride Depot, and the SEARS House
    All scales:  The bulk oil facilities in Telluride, Ouray, Rico, and Placerville are all strong probablilities; as well as the backyard shacks and shanties so often seen in books such as Sundance's RGS Series, and we have another western store in mind.

.......to be continued!
