Other Kits Available from Main Street Heritage Models

Mercer’s Dry Goods wasn’t the first Main Street Heritage model that I have built. Formally, I built Main Street Heritage’s The Weekly Record, which I re-purposed and renamed Billy’s Place. 

As you can see from the image Main Street Heritage Models offers other 1/87 structures. In addition other kits are featured at Main Street Heritage’s online catalog. Some of the structures featured here are the: River Road Surplus, Moffat's Bookstore, Strong's Mercantile, and the now retired the Soda Works.

Main Street Heritage Models- Mercer’s Dry Goods

Main Street Heritage Models manufacturers many fine quality HO and O scale structures cast in resin. Mercer’s Dry Goods, Main Street Heritage Models Kit #101 measures 1 5/8 wide, by 4 ½ deep, by 2 7/8” high. This HO scale model depicts a board and batten structure and is equipped with a lean-to that is connected at the rear of this model. As you can see from the instructions the kits build is a straight forward affair.

Billy’s Place

Billy’s Place is a HO gauge Main Street Heritage model cast in resin. I have also built Main Street Heritage’s The Weekly Record. These kits are easy to build and are highly detailed. They are not priced so badly either. The prototype for this model is in Norton's Landing and has seen many diverse businesses come and go. I have re-purposed mine to represent a neighborhood Bistro. The model measures 2.1"W x 3.5"D. If you are wondering about the two holes above the door, there is a sign that will applied above the main entrance.

Four HO Gauge Structures for my Layout

I have been unpacking my structures to make sure they are all in one piece before I place them out on my HOn30 model train layout. Only a few, so far, needed some minor repairs and other adjustments. These structures are for the little town of Gotham.

Dirty and Grimy Industrial Storage Shed or Shop

A plastic kit from Con-Cor, I believe.

Wimpy's Tackle Shop

A Campbell’s repurposed bunk house kit is a simple wood sheet kit. You will find these small and weathered buildings next to boat docks and wharfs. You can purchase tackle, bait, ice, snacks, and drinks from these little businesses. This building is in pretty good shape compared to some I have seen.

Hobby Shop

This kit was built from preformed wood sheet walls and metal door and window castings. I don't remember the manufacturer of this kit.

Stone Bank Building

I am not sure, but this kit could be from Design Preservation This is a Main Street Heritage model. (Perhaps not, I couldn’t find one of these kits in their current catalogs. Anyone know where this kit originates?) It is a resin kit. These resin kits are easy to assemble and have a lot of detail built into the casting.
