Title: Campbell Towers Flowers
Post by: martin.ojaste on January 29, 2015, 10:44:42 PM
Hi again,

I hope I'm not boring you with all these Campbell kit builds.

It is amazing what you can get at a local train show/flea market. This Campbell "Towers Flowers" kit is loaded with strip wood, plastic parts, drawings and instructions. When you consider I paid $25 for it, it is a great value. I think it will just be a random warehouse somewhere on the layout. Still have not decided.

Here are some photos of how I built this structure.

Marty,

That's a really nice build.  It should look great on the layout.

Bored with Campbell builds?  Nope.  Not here.  I have a few in the closet I still want to build and one or two that I'll be taking to the EXPO to sell/trade/whatever if anyone is interested.  I no longer have it but my favorite build was "Bret's Brewery".  I gave that one to club I belonged to a long time ago.
