I recently bought the Union Ice House kit from a yard sale at the local model railroad club.  The kit I have was made by California Model Co. but I have seen it under a couple of other names as it is a very old kit.  I chose the kit because it was a cardboard type kit and I had no experience with building these.  The chief thing I have learned so far in the construction of this kit was that you can never have enough clamps.  At the suggestion of several people I used Elmer’s Wood Glue to build this.
