Guys,
I just got this, I wanted it as it will make an almost PERFECT B&O Sand Patch "SA" Tower, for my layout, with alittle work.....
HOWEVER, a few locals and myself included was wondering who made this building? I looked, no markings or anything on it, but, that doesn't say much as it could be missing parts for all I know!
What I do know is, it is the right shape and almost size for the Tower I have planned for it to become!
Any help is appreciated thanks guys!

First offered by AHM, later by IHC; was part of a series of snap together/simple kits that included the small train station Atlas is now offering, which is known for a strong resemblance to DL&W wood passenger stations.

lvrr325,
THANKS! that does make sense with the AHM offering of it, it has that "feel" to it being thin plastic and not as it would be by other companies.....
As I'm doing "SA" Tower, I will be posting pictures as this tower will make an AWESOME base for that......

I know in O scale Plasctiville and now Atlas makes them.
In fact, they are so many things that can be done with them!

I'm not so sure of that, the bare wall (no windows in it) is the rear wall of the building, and the end walls have the blank area on the end of it that's just around the corner to the rear wall, ain't really any other way to assemble it!
They sure didn't use a lot of glue which is a plus for me as I'm going to really do a lot to it that's not going to allow it to look the same, when I'm done with it....

| Swap the side walls to have half of the top floor one continuous window. Actually makes it look like a signal box.

That's EXACTLY how its assembled, the sides and front make it all around windows, like that of a "signal box"...... It will be that same way when I make it as Sand Patch OR as it was addressed, "SA" Tower was.......
