Chapter 5. Kits, Kits and More Kits
With nearly two dozen kits to build—which seems like a lot for such a small layout—I have my work cut out for me. There's a separate page for each project. Check-marked projects are finished.
Note that, since starting this project over a year ago, I've been reevaluating some of what I was doing. In particular, after working on the Newport & Rock Falls II and the Commissioned Postage Stamp Layout, I've come to think I shouldn't do the kitbashing I've done, and I just may start over with some of the structures—in particular, the Modern Station and Restaurant and the Suburban Station. I've grown to appreciate the "purity" of doing straight kit builds for this era of layout.
Kits I chose for the layout include:
- Aurora Modern Station and Restaurant
- Aurora Suburban Station
- Station Platforms
- Suburban Homes
- Ranch House
- Split Level Homes
- The Road House
- Houses Under Construction
- Tunnel Portals
