At one time, the meat industry played a major role in railroading. The trackside slaughterhouse was a busy, interesting place surrounded by a fascinating array of stock pens, loading ramps and gates. Meat would arrive on the hoof in dingy stockcars and depart on the hook in bright reefers. Most of these industries were very large, but we feel that the small single or double pen facilities that were usually located in rural areas and small towns make the most interesting and best models. Just about every small town in the U.S. had some kind of meat processing industry. Our latest HO kit is called "Butcher's Way". Livestock is processed at the slaughterhouse and is then picked up or delivered to meat packers and local butcher shops. The company also runs their own adjoining packing house, butcher shop and small luncheonette specializing in steaks, hot dogs and hamburgers and is run by "Ma Magdalina". Kit includes eight beef cattle. Figures and vehicles are not included. Only 700 kits will be made, so order from us now.
