Introducing Warris KitWorks

Elevated Crossing Tower

For the last couple months we have been developing an HO scale laser cut kit to add to our Fast Tracks line.

I designed this structure a couple years ago when we first got our laser cutter.  I had always intended on making it into a limited run kit, and now it has finally ready!

This is our first release, an Elevated Crossing Tower based on a CN prototype.  While it is a prototype model, it would be at home on any layout.

There are a lot of great features to this kit, such as:

  • Laser cut micro plywood construction – very solid finished model
  • Removable roof – reveal the interior
  • Detailed interior – complete with wainscoted walls, desk and cast pot belly stove
  • Laser scribed styrene window glazing – simply bend and break for very precise glazing
  • Multi-layer construction – painting in contrasting colours is a snap
  • Laser cut and etched sandpaper shingle roof – simple pieces to complete roof
  • Very detailed exploded view instructions – included on a CD
  • Stair Jig – for easy staircase construction

This little kit builds up into a beautiful model.

This kit is available now at Warris KitWorks on the Fast Tracks website.

We will have these available this weekend at the Toronto Xmas Train Show.

First Sno

Its here.  The fluffy white stuff.  We got a couple inches overnight.

Hard to believe I was just mowing the lawn…

A bit of determined colour in the fluff.

I don’t think the dog was too impressed.  Covered up all the good sniffing ground.

With a bit of sunshine the dog completely dissapeared against the white snow!

Looking out my office window.  Those orange survey stakes are really starting to bother me.

Me in my office working on a kit.  I forgot how enjoyable this can be…

Me, moments later after being startled…

What I built…
