- All the kits REPRESENT REAL STRUCTURES that either once existed or are still
standing and are as accurate as possible.
- Only the best of materials are used -- no cardboard, no plastic windows or doors.
All kits are laser-cut and are engineered with an extensive slot and tab design for easier
construction. The roofing shingles are always peel-and-stick and are made from a special
textured paper of a thickness appropriate for the building’s scale. If the structure incorporates
an inner plywood core, all outer wall overlays are peel-and-stick as well as all windows,
doors, and most trim.
- Chimneys, finials, and detail parts are nearly always unique to each prototype, cast
from new masters. Decals, door knobs, and lock plates are always included.
- The instructions have gained notoriety as being some of the best on the market. A
modeler shouldn’t have to “second guess” the assembly of a fine kit. Step-by-step instructions
accompanied by numerous photographs and Parts Layout Diagrams are included in each kit,
as well as suggestions for adhesives, useful tools to have on hand, and paints for finishing
your model.
- Although the kits are not extremely difficult to assemble (some are easier than others!),
they may be a challenge for the first-time builder. For overall sizing of the models please
call us or visit the Ragg’s...To Riches website www.raggstoriches.biz

One of the more popular mines to model railroaders over the
last 40 years or so, the Hukill Mine (more correctly named the “Maude Monroe”), is
located near Idaho Springs, Colorado. Having a small width of only 4¼-inches, it
requires a minimum of space. Built on level ground as the prototype, the depth can
be as much as 18-inches, but it can be shortened to fit in as little as 14-inches
if built on a hillside. The kit includes the tiered retaining walls, ore bin, ore
bin superstructure, headframe with brace, and hoist house. Four additional support
structures will be released in the near future: the Change House, Carpenter Shop,
Compressor Building (with water tank), and Office.

This is a great little kit for any railroad — standard OR narrow gauge. It depicts
the CONOCO Bulk Oil Plant that was located along the Rio Grande Southern in Dolores,
Colorado. It goes a ways back in history, being built prior to 1916, and lasted
at least until the end of the RGS in 1951.

It’s designed after the “generic” West Side Logging Company’s bunk houses, but can easily
be used as an outbuilding for any number of other applications — railroad, industrial,
commercial, or even a backyard shed. The kit consists of an inner plywood core that’s
overlaid with sheets of pre-cut, peel-and-stick vertical siding boards.
