This is American Model Builders 625 The Pickle Works. Laser cut kit. G. R. Dill & Sons Salting Station. The inspiration for our latest laser-cut creation comes from Paul Larson’s “Pickle Works” article in the January 1955 issue of Model Railroader and David Leider’s “Building a Pickle Salting Station” article in the March 2009 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman along with numerous prototype photos and personal recollections of individuals who labored at these salting stations. A great small industry to add to your layout, our new kit conveys the early appearance of these salting stations with its 100% laser-cut real wood construction right down to the 20 brine vats, which display individual wood planks and banding. Made from quality birch plywood and basswood, the modeler will easily be able to obtain that stained weathered look of the prototype facilities. Furthermore, the modular design of the kit, which includes the open platform with vats and freight car loading point, elevated shed with covered deck, and the annex platform with roof, affords the modeler relative ease in placement of the structures on their layout even on curved sidings. Its key features are: Peel & Stick windows, door, trim, and roofing material Custom scribed platform decking Tab & Slot wall and platform substructure assembly Laser-cut ladders and wheelbarrows Cast resin casks and scale Optional open vats with simulated brine Well-illustrated instructions Full color signage that includes a unique dill pickle shaped rooftop billboard.
