A SHORT BIT OF BACKGROUND:

After designing model railroad structure kits for other manufacturers for more than 10 years, we decided to take the next step: purchase our own laser and produce our own line.  Our first kit, the Ouray Depot (Ouray, Colorado), was released in December, 2004.  We currently have thirty-five kits available in HO, S, and O scales, and have now designed more than 80 structure 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 they are of museum quality -- something of which we are very proud.

All kits are laser-cut and are engineered with an extensive slot and tab design for easier construction.  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.  It 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.

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 by "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!")

DURANGO'S SAND TOWER:  OUR NEWEST O-SCALE KIT!!

Sand Tower

Long promised, it's finally available in limited numbers!  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.  Only 30 kits have been made initially due to a limited supply of the special castings.  Additional kits will be made if and when the castings become available.  For more information, click on the photo above.


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 DP1005 from the O-scale ordering table, below.   $12 for a set of three.  (Assembly required)


DEPOT DETAIL SET:  (HO and O-scale; S coming)

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, 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 ($65) includes 54 parts, while the HO set ($45) has 80! Order the O-scale part DP1006 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-scale, and NOW AVAILABLE IN 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.  Click on the photo above for more photos and details.


THE ALADDIN GENERAL STORE:  (S-scale...coming in O)

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 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.  For more information and photos, please click on the photo, above.


OURAY, COLORADO'S, ENGINE HOUSE:  (S-scale now...later in O)

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 lumber.  All the joint lines are etched to show the individual studs, and the diagonal wall sheathing is plainly visible.  The kit is based on the second engine house that once stood in Ouray, but details are included to build the earlier structure, too.  It adheres to the prototype's actual dimensions, but the door openings have been enlarged to easily fit a C18 locomotive.   Yes, if you're wondering, K27s can also fit inside, but it's tight.  Because of it's simple design, it can also serve as a generic HO standard gauge engine house!  Click on the photo below to learn more about the structure and the kit.

OUE small



TELLURIDE DEPOT:

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)

  NOW AVAILABLE IN O-SCALE 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)

It once was a hardware store and a cafe, but now serves as an upscale kitchen wares establishment.   For more information and photos, click the picture below.

BATHS Small



DURANGO DEPOT:  (HO and O-scales.  Coming in S)

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.  It is once more available in HO-scale, this time as a laser-cut kit, but is now ALSO available in O-scale -- FULL SIZE!!.  Representing the structure as it appeared in the late 1930s and early 1940's, it covers an appreciable amount of real estate -- 4¾ x 22-inches in HO and 8¾ x 40-inches in O, without the concrete platform!  Depending on your feedback, I expect to produce the kit in S-scale.  CLICK on the photo below for more information.

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?)

PLACERVILLE DEPOT:  (HO,  S,  and O-scales)

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.

OURAY DEPOT:  NOW AVAILABLE IN BOTH 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:

The O-scale Durango Sand Tower is shipping (as castings become available) and I've moved on to other projects.  The HO Bel Air Depot kit is finished and shipping to the Maryland and Pennsylvania Historical Society this week, but will also be available soon on this site (when more the cast chimneys arrive!). It turned out to be a great kit that I'm very proud to offer.  Next, I believe, I'll try to work in the Ouray Engine House in O-scale, provided the casting don't (once again) become a major road block.  After that is a project many at the Sn3 Symposium were asking for:  the Durango Depot in S.  We've talked about several other projects we'd like to tackle before the Portland Narrow Gauge Convention -- far more than I can possibly do in the time remaining, but hopefully, there will be a few surprises for you.

Here's a list of our near-term projects, always subject to change (!!):

HO-scale:  Rico Depot
S-scale:  the Crested Butte Depot, and the Hukill Mine
O-scale:  Telluride Depot, Rico Depot
F-scale:  probably a depot (big or small?) and/or a commercial building...??  (I'm holding off on doing anything in F until I first do an informal survey of modelers to see what they may want most.  That may happen after the Sn3 Symposium.)

Other projects that will be mixed in amongst the above are the Aladdin's General Store, the SEARS House, both in O; and, a smelter...in any or all scales (I'm anxious to get going on this one!).
  After attending the Craftsman Structure Show last November, we've decided we need to produce an HO Craftsman-style kit:  perhaps a small industry with lots of details and interesting roof lines.  Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated...and if it's a PROTOTYPE structure, all the better!!

As you've probably surmised, the exact order of what's going to be produced next always depends on the amount of input we receive....let's hear from you!

Look for us at the National Narrow Gauge Convention in Portland, WA, (September), and the Craftsman Structure Show in Mansfield, MA (November).
