Join Chris–Coarse, owner of Conowingo Models, for a hands-on clinic where you’ll construct a 24-foot boxcar that’s been creatively repurposed into a small shop. Step by step, you’ll bring this versatile structure to life—choose between signage for a cozy coffee shop or a classic ice cream stand. Perfect for both beginner and experienced modelers, the kit comes pre-painted and ready to assemble. All necessary tools and glue are included, so you can focus on the fun of building without needing to bring a thing.
