Ztrack offering REA transfer warehouse kits

Shown at the NTS, Ztrack is now taking orders for the Archistories REA Transfer Warehouse! Ztrack has partnered with Archistories of Germany to create this incredible kit. The kit is inspired by the REA transfer warehouse that were spread across the US. We have designed this kit to be expandable. With the extension kit, you can create a structure with prototypical length! The kit can be built with or without the REA lettering so creating a generic warehouse is completely possible. Two kits are available:

103191 Base Kit REA Transfer Warehouse

Includes two end sections, one middle section and an extreme amount of details!
Dimensions 3.15"L x 6.10"W x 3.15"H. No painting required.
All parts come colored as shown in the photos.

104191 Extension Kit REA Transfer Warehouse

The kit has been designed to add extensions to create a prototypically long building! Dimensions 3.15"L x 3.38"W x 2.83"H. No painting required. All parts come colored as shown in the photos.

This is a Ztrack only exclusive kit! We expect these kits to be here in about 2-3 weeks. Orders are now being accepted at Ztrack Center:

Yeah, that is a great looking structure, and even in Z scale the railings do not stick out as being overly thick - they look good.

Thanks guys! We are really proud of these kits. We spent months working with Archistories to get this kit right. We really challenged them, and they came through big time. At the NTS this past weekend, we had a gentleman dead stop in the isle and rush over to look at the kit. He exclaimed that that was the best REA kit he has seen in any scale. The guy does HO, and this meant a lot to us. He actually wished we would offer it in HO! Z really allows us to pull off the big kit look and feel. Plus with the option to expand it, one can create a prototypically length REA building on their layout. How awesome is that!

Do the parts come pre-colored (like the bricks with mortar lines), or was that model in the photos painted?

What material is this kit made of? No matter what material, it is a very impressive kit.

Another reason for me to envy our Z scale brethren.  Unfortunately, one size too small (scale-wise) for my N scale layout.  But (note to manufacturers) if someone comes out with a similar kit in N scale, I could use a "main building" with a couple of add on sections.  And a 2 story version- with I don't know how many add ons.  Just saying.

I gave up rivet counting when I couldn't see an N scale rivet anymore.

WOW!  So, anybody can build it just  as nice looking as those photos show!

What I really like about this model is that there is an office-end wit different window arrangement.  That looks realistic, and adds some variety to building's looks.

That is one impressive kit, and I love that no painting is required. You should definitely look at offering it in N scale. I'd scoop some up right away.

How about one of these in the "distance" for some forced perspective!

This is pretty funny ..... Walthers makes kits in HO but not the same in N because ....?
Z scale has structures and kits that aren't made in N scale because ......?
There's no market for the N scale versions?????
Sometimes things in N are just so funny they make me cry. That's what I get for being in the "wrong" scale.
