L&N Historical Society is proud to announce the first run of a new HO scale
structure. In cooperation with the society, American Model Builders has produced
Kit No. 182- L&N Standard Tool Sheds. Each Kit is designed from actual plans of
tool sheds that were used by the L&N Railroad system-wide in all eras and even
into the CSX era. Each wooden laser kit contains two shed kits and also has
enough lengths of rail to make the kits into handcar sheds. These sheds were
located along the main line, at sidings, and in yards at intervals of three to
ten miles and often appeared in groups of two or three at many locations. |

L&N Woody HO Cabooses
Although nearly a year late, a limited run of Big & Little Woody HO L&N
caboose kits are now available from the Company Store in Bowling Green. The
kits were produced by Wright Trak Railroad Models exclusively for the society
and were introduced at the annual meeting in Corbin. The price for the first
run of each caboose is $55 for members and $60 for non-members. They will only
be available from the society. Future runs will be a bit more expensive so it
behooves you to get your first come-first serve orders in. The kits feature
one piece resin bodies and cupolas, decals, truck side frames and bolsters and
other detail parts necessary to complete your desired version. The kits do not
include wheel sets or couplers.
The Modeling Committee has worked hard to provide these kits; special thanks
go to Rusty Evans for his efforts with the producer to resolve production
issues, and for his efforts to create instructions.

L&N 3-door Baggage-Horse Car Kit (HO)
L&N Historical Society is pleased to announce a HO scale 3-door baggage-horse car kit produced exclusively for the society by Bethlehem Car Works. The kit prototype is L&N 1500-1519, 74'-2" in length, originally built for carrying racehorses, a business very active in L&N's home state of Kentucky. The original cars were built with plain bearing trucks and multiple window doors. The kit represents later versions upgraded with single window doors. The original car interiors included overhead water tanks with side wall spigots, troughs, and fixtures for applying horse stalls. Later in service life, permanent stalls were applied that could be folded away so the cars could handle normal express and baggage. Therefore, these models are at home on any L&N passenger train. Some even eventually survived for company work service.
The kit includes 3-D printed sides, molded roof, ends, underframe and details, 3-axle Branchline plain bearing trucks less wheels, and L&N script decals. Bethlehem has provided instructions which include one of their Branchline series coach sides as a template to align the 3-door sides. Couplers are not included. Supplemental references for the modeler can be found as follows through the L&NHS Company Store/L&NHS Archive:
