New buildings from CMR

The train show report from Model Railroader had this announcement of new buildings from CMR.
Nothing yet on their web site. Does anyone know anything more about these? 
I hope the windows look better than their recent jam factory kit.

Acme Corp. Modular laser-cut acrylic kit. Can be built as a stand-alone building, split in half for two low-relief structures, or divided into eight units. Footprint is 3-3/8” x 8-1/8”. Price to be announced. Custom Model Railroads, 410-889-0010, www.cmrtrain.com

East Side Transfer. Laser-cut acrylic kit. Can be built in several different configurations. Wall openings can be used as windows, opened into doors, or blocked off. Includes four loading docks. Footprint is 2-1/4” x 5-1/2”. Price to be announced.

Best wishes, Dave
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

I love how local all the names are... Ostend?

That's the Ostend St. bridge in the background.

Ah, The Loading Dock...  A mecca for us architectural salvage types...

http://www.loadingdock.org/

Good source for cheap materials for model railroads, but only if you can't make it to my ReStore!

The row houses can be seen in the M:160 update.  Not sure about the others in the MR list.

While the windows are thick on close inspection, the overall effect of the larger structures is quite good.  It really depends on how much city you're trying to model and how fast you want to finish!

Same thing with the 2 story rowhouses. I have not put the windows in yet because of the thickness. Looking at other options right now.  Wish I had known they were coming out with the 3 story ones when I bought mine in 2 January as the 3 floor is more of what I am looking for! :facepalm:


Edit:
Mike, the Rowhouses in M:160's photo are the 2 story rowhouses released earlier this year, not the new coming 3 story ones.
