Plan 1546 - Fort Steele Livery Stable
PDF
Plan package: $7.95
Geary and Doyle's Livery Stable was one of several in the once booming town of Fort Steele. Livery stables sometimes served as a cross between a "service station" and “valet service” of the Old West.
Travelers could leave their horses while staying at the hotel. Horses could be fed, watered and boarded, and along with the blacksmith and harness shop, livery stables were an integral part of horseback and wagon travel in the early days.
This remaining part of the original livery stable now forms part of the Fort Steele Heritage site.

Plan 698 - Fernridge GaragePDF
Plan package: $8.95
The Fernridge Garage was part of a lone commercial area a few miles south of Langley, British Columbia. The business
started as a rural Post Office in the early 1920's and shortly after, added a small grocery store. It is not clear when the garage
was added, but at one time the tiny structure housed a tire store as well. Whether it was a sign of economic times, or development
favoring another part of town, one by one, operations ceased. At the time of researching the project the structures were still
standing, but in need of repair.
Garden Scale 1:24 and RC Scale 1:10 are available at
www.ScaleModelBuildings.com.
HO scale cardstock version shown uses gas pump from
Micro Mark but all scales include plans for easy to make

Plan 1598 - Gas StationPDF Plan package: $9.95
The Golden Age of Automobiles is sometimes considered to include the 1920's, when assembly
lines made automobiles more affordable to the masses, to the 1950's, where style, power, and prestige were
paramount. Production of passenger cars slowed down during World War II, but came back with a vengeance in
the late 1940's and 1950's. Part of the American Dream was to have a new car in the driveway of your new home.
To keep all these vehicles running service stations like this
one sprang up across the continent.
In addition to two grades of gasoline and a variety of parts and auto supplies, you could often count on
a mechanic being available to handle any repair job that came up.
This HO scale version was finished with Tremclad
Texture finish on styrene walls. Roofing is 320 grit sandpaper. Gas pump plans and
choice of signs are
included.

Plan 1921 - Greencourt GaragePDF Plan package:
$9.95
Greencourt Garage was located near the town of
Mayerthorpe, Alberta, about 90 miles Northwest of
Edmonton. You couldn't buy milk or eggs, but in early
gas stations like this you could probably find a
radiator hose, fan belt, or spark plugs for your car,
and in later years you had a choice of 'regular' or
'supreme' leaded gas.

Plan 2498 - Kingsway Motors
PDF Plan package:
$9.95Many towns have a "five-corners" or other unusual intersection where roads converge at odd angles.
This is often the case where old wagon trails became paved roads. Rather than re-survey to something more geometrically sound,
buildings were designed to fit these abnormal intersections. This was the case with the intersection of Kingsway and Prince Edward
Streets in Vancouver. The odd shaped building was home to a few car dealerships over the years until it was torn down in favor of a new hotel in the 1960's.

and across the road from the US/Canada border crossing into Yahk, BC, is the Idaho Hotel and Store.

Plan 1824 - the El Dorado MotelPDF Plan package: $11.95
(includes office & motel units)
The word “Motel” is an abbreviation of Motor and Hotel. As North America's highway systems began
to grow in the 1920's, so did people's need and means to travel.
The independence provided by the automobile meant that people
could choose their routes of long distance travel rather than
follow those dictated by railways and bus lines. To accommodate
this travel, a new type of lodging was established. Unlike
hotels, which were typically located in city centers, motels
were often located along popular travelled roads and highways.
The El Dorado Motel was typical of one of the many that sprang
up along major highways in Canada and the U.S.
(Sign pattern
included)
This HO Scale model was
constructed using 64 lb. cardstock and balsa for the sign and
columns.

living accommodations, and ultimately included a Post
Office. The building eventually became part of

Plan 2460 - Main StreetPDF
Plan package: $16.95 (plans for complete
commercial block as shown)
Nearly every major town across North America and Europe had undergone a phase of Art Deco architecture.
Entering the twentieth century, even many otherwise conservative architects found themselves moving beyond mere function and
practicality, with their designs reflecting the artistic styles of the period.
Ingram Jewellers, on the right, sat directly
across the street from the Great Northern Railway tracks for
over thirty years, before finally closing in the 1980's.
Similar buildings can still be seen on just about any Main Street in the country.
(Signs included)
This model is constructed as one complete unit of
four businesses - Drug Store, Law Office, Department Store,
Jewellers.

1297 - Mattock SchoolPDF Plan package: $8.95Originally named Webster School
and later named Mattock School after Reverend John Mattocks, the Secretary of the Board of Education,
Mattock School was a one room school built using local limestone. The limestone block walls were roughly twenty inches thick, with two inches of plaster on the interior surfaces. Over the years it has served various purposes and many students, including some of my ancestors, and now sits on the site of Highland Park Senior High School in St. Paul, Minnesota.

limestone blocks.

Plan 2317 - Murrayville SchoolPDF Plan package: $9.95
Murrayville School was built in 1911 as a two room school for both elementary and high school students. It is situated on what was
once known as Yale Road, the main wagon road between New Westminster and Yale BC. The school underwent several additions and renovations over the years, including raising the building for a basement, adding two classrooms in 1922, and the construction of a separate annex in the 1960's. Although the building is still standing, it's future at this time is uncertain.

includes plans for a scratch built structure. Either can be built as the original two room school or as the 1922 version, with or without basement.

Plan 556 - Fort Steele Stage Lines Office
PDF Plan package: $7.95
Fort Steele was one of several gold rush towns in the early history of British Columbia. The
stage coach office was one of many businesses serving roughly 1000
residents. Beginning around 1899 Fort Steele began to suffer the fate of other gold rush towns, as the Canadian Pacific Railway route favored the nearby town of Cranbrook. In 1961
Fort Steele was declared an historic park. The Friends of Fort Steele Society have worked hard to preserve and restore over 60 buildings, to create a fascinating tourist destination,
which can include a ride on an early 1900's steam train. This cardstock version, included with the set of
scaled plans and scratch building templates, uses balsa columns
and cornices.

Plan 635 - Molly's DinerPDF Plan package: $9.95
Although they resembled railroad dining cars, the classic art deco American diners were mainly purpose-built, pre-fabricated units complete with interior equipment and furnishings. Companies such as O'Mahony, Kullman, Fodero and others built single and modular units designed to be delivered to location by truck or railroad and set up either temporarily or permanently. The glory days of these diners was roughly between the 1920's and 1940's. Several of these are still in existence and have been restored to their former beauty, even serving the same type of meals that shaped their popularity in the first place.
The scratchbuilt version uses balsa, styrene, and aluminum foil. The cardstock version is a hybrid version using a wood or styrene roof.
*Electric sander would be useful, but not required.

Plan 715 - Tastee-Treat Drive-InPDF Plan package: $9.95
Long before “drive-through” fast food restaurants
let you grab a quick meal to eat on the run, “drive-in”
restaurants allowed you to take your time, relax, and enjoy
yourself in the comfort of your car. The exact date and location
of the first drive-in is debatable, but it was during the 1950's
when this style of dining became increasingly popular. Of
course, the popularity of the drive-in restaurant was not just
from the unique style of dining. Local drive-ins were the 50's,
60's and 70's social gathering center for teens to meet friends
or show off their hot cars.
This is the HO scale cardstock model. Plan covers
drive-in, canopy and sign.

Plan 1515 - The Stardust Drive-InPDF Plan package: $18.95
First appearing in the early 1930's, drive-in
theatres rapidly became a popular source of entertainment for
the entire family. Snack bars provided the refreshments, and the
family car provided the intimate setting.
As with indoor theatres, popularity began to decline as color televisions, and later,
home theatre systems became more common.
Whether the Stardust survives or not remains to be seen, but it will continue to exist in the memories of its patrons
and in miniature scale through the efforts of scale modelers.
Use an inexpensive digital photo frame or tablet, or

Plan 2169 - Paramount TheatrePDF Plan package: $9.95
The
Paramount Theatre in Chilliwack BC was sixty-one years old when it closed it's doors for the last time. By November of 2010 the once ultra modern 600 seat
theatre had ultimately yielded to the competition of a new multiplex theatre, and the proliferation of new home-entertainment centers that could not have been imagined back in 1949.
Although the stories that were told were those from Hollywood Block-busters, the ones that live on are of first dates, family outings, and other treasured personal memories.
This model depicts the theatre prior to a renovation in the late 1970's. This N Scale model of the
1950's version was constructed with balsa and sprayed with Trem-Clad Texture finish. (Signs included)Download plans in either N, HO, OO, or O Scale
