Historic Design Heritage

This model is based on the original design by renowned hobbyist Earl Smallshaw, created for his famous Middletown & Mystic Mines railroad. Originally produced by Northeastern Scale Models in the 1970s and 80s, this classic kit has been updated with modern laser-cutting precision while maintaining the authentic character that made it a favorite among modelers for decades.

Versatile Configuration Options

The kit includes components for three complete tenement buildings that offer exceptional flexibility. Use all three together to create an impressive tenement row, or separate them to populate different areas of your layout. This versatility allows you to customize the urban landscape to fit your specific space and operational needs.

Highly Detailed Diorama Kit

This comprehensive kit goes beyond basic structures to create a complete urban scene. The laser-cut wood construction includes outside walls, inner support walls, porch floors with scribed detail lines, and railings. Plastic windows and doors provide realistic openings, while laser-cut tarpaper roofing and scale lumber stairs add authentic architectural detail.

Authentic Scenic Accessories

Bring your tenement row to life with included scenic accessories: fencing defines property lines, fully detailed porches create outdoor living spaces, and clotheslines with poles (complete with templates for making miniature clothes) add the everyday details that make urban scenes believable. These elements transform the structures from simple buildings into a living neighborhood.

Perfect for Urban Layouts

Ideal for North American steam or diesel-era settings from the early 1900s through the 1970s, this tenement row adds authentic working-class character to industrial districts, urban switching layouts, and city scenes. The finished diorama creates a compelling focal point that tells the story of everyday life along the railroad.
