Bar Mills Scale Model Works 862 HO Scale Cabins at Collard's Creek Craftsman Kit

Beginning in the 20s, the motor park was where vacationers traveling by automobile stayed when they took to the open road. Here, they were offered a small, private cabin with beds where they could spend the night. These accommodations were a step above the auto camp, which simply offered camp spaces where drivers could pull over for the night. The new Collard's Creek kits from Bar Mills capture the look and feel of a typical motor camp. Two kits are available, one includes the office and a single cabin, the other includes three cabins so you can expand the motor park. As with all Bar Mills models, the kits include full-color signs, precision-fitting laser-cut wood parts, metal detail castings and complete assembly and finishing instructions.

These small structures can be used individually or combined to make a larger scene. While we call them “cabins” these handy little dwellings can be used along a right-of-way, or even as company houses in a mining scene. These are not complex kits… heavy weathering and additional roof details will give them the “wrong-side-of-the-tracks” look for even the down-trodden areas of you layout ! Sometimes “simple” is good !

Although we haven’t run across it as of yet we’d love to see one of you folks take these kits a bit “further” and model them as “company houses”… if you do please send us a photo so we can feature it on this part of the website !
