Walthers Cornerstone: American Millwork Co - tomustang - 11-02-2010
I'm making this thread since I can't find any photos of this anywhere, I am assuming this kit came out in the late 90's or early 00's. I just acquired this kit mostly build and semi poorly put together. So now if anyone sees or hears about this kit they'll know what it is/looks like
Here's a few shots

Piping a bit wrong and have no clue why a stairway entrance was put there.......^

What are your plans for the building? And how did you acquire it?
Re: Walthers Cornerstone: American Millwork Co - tomustang - 11-03-2010
Well the plan is to intergrade it into my steel mill project, which will take forever to finish

Wow!
The basic injection molding tooling for Revell's "Superior Bakery/Weekly Herald" lives on.
Amazing!
All these years later!!!
It's still hanging on!!

As I recall, the Superior Bakery/Weekly Herald had mortar lines painted on them! My gosh! We're talking almost 50 years ago! Honey, bring the Geritol!!!

Judging by the gaps in the foundation (behind the stairs) and the "modular" look to the end walls in general, I wonder if this was also a two stall brick engine house as well...?

Yup
It's amazing the multiple uses they got from basically one set of tooling, with maybe a few different pieces. Basic kit plus set A = one structure, basic kit plus set B = structure 2, basic kit plus set C = structure 3, and so on.

The engine house side walls had brick arches above the pairs of windows.....otherwise very similar.
( the roundhouse on my new modules started with a pair of engine house kits )

When I finally get that far ...
The building to the right of the tracks that go between the buildings in the photos of the corrugated mock-ups in my "GERN plant Structure Challenge" will be bashed-up from several Superior Bakery and a Weekly Herald kits (the walls of which are visible in the first photos of that thread.)
I think doctorwayne also bashed at least one structure from these very usable walls!
