This is scratchbuilt model of a well-known auto repair garage in Morgantown, WV. A photograph of the prototype is shown at the end of this set of pictures. The structure is reminiscent of a 1950s style auto repair shop that is individually owned and not affiliated with a national chain. The building was built using styrene strip and N Scale Architect concrete block sheet. The interior was detailed using castings from Berkshire Valley, Evergreen Hill Designs, Pine Canyon Models, Builders in Scale, and Artista. A detailed description of the construction of this building can be found in Issue #64 (Sept/Oct 2012) of O Scale Trains magazine.
Shorty Anderson is located along an industrial spur of the layout.
The roof of the structure is removable.
