The Horwood Bros. service station was one of those structures that when I first laid eyes upon the image, I just knew this was going to be a RSM kit. I was searching in the historical archives of British Columbia online, when I came across the photos you see here. I was impressed with the architecture and all the design capabilities for a craftsman kit of such a rather large service station. It was on the same field trip to gather information on the Vogue Furniture kit, that we realized that a portion of the station was still standing along side the Vogue Furniture, as can be seen in the photo gallery. The L & L Baker dealership on the model is now a dry-cleaning business. You can see that they filled in the service bay door openings with glazing and passage doors. It was easy to scale to 1:87 as 75 percent of the original structure was still standing.

Another feature we added to the Horwood Bros. kit, is the option to break the main structure into three smaller separate buildings, each with their own unique style and the possibilities to make them into any other business and totally spread them apart from each other on your layout. The wooden laser cut wall pieces are included in the kit to allow for this if you so desire. The three separate structures and dimensions are shown on the footprint detail. The amazing thing is, combined as you see on the diorama, is all prototypical of the real thing.

Finally, as you may have noticed, we added lights. This brings the diorama to a whole new dimension. It looks absolutely amazing! The lighting package is sold separately through Ngineering. We will have a link and information up soon on the site if you wish to order the lighting package.
