BUILDERS IN SCALE / CC CROW
PO BOX 149 - TOPPENISH, WA 98948
(425) 355-5622 cell biscrow@outlook.com
Long story short, we have moved to Toppenish, Washington and setting our shop back up.
It will be a slow process, due to the advanced age of the house and myself (two years older).
The computer running XP died so updated (ha-ha) to WIN 10, while most other work is done on a Mac.
Actually, there are several of them. One for the office, one for graphics, another for scanning...
and so on.
Looks like it will be a soft re-opening. Some things are working, others are not. Some
suppliers are no longer in business, some materials were left behind, others lost,
and holy crap, that's way too expensive!! New local suppliers need to be found, else chain-up
for a ride over the pass.
So, we will start by announcing the move and pending re-opening, adding product availability
over the next few weeks and months. While is storage we did work on some interesting new items, but
we will announce them once they are certain.

At this time we are cleaning up the website with minor updates that are long overdue. We have another email address due to more provider changes and
periodic issues beyond our control. Let's try biscrow@outlook.com.

What brings us here today is another discontinued color of SLATE is now gone, Shale Black.
We still have a good supply of Sea Green, Terra Cotta and Light Shale.

Has it really been six years since we posted a bulletin? Guess we should fire our webmaster! Hey, wait, that's us. Okay, we will try to do better.

1-10-10 - HEAVY-DUTY HO CORRUGATOIN

10/4/07 - MORE LASERWOOD PLANKING
A customer called and asked about four foot wide boardwalk. We should have pointed out
that there are several strips of that width on the random cut panels. Instead, we
custom-cut a 4 ft. width panel, one thing lead to another, and these are now
available across the board. Use them for boardwalks and fencing.
Sheets are 3-3/4" x 7" with in N-scale, otherwise 6" x 12", with 1/4"-1/2" border.

3/12/07 - NEW LASERWOOD PLANKING
We are adding generic WOOD DECK PLANKING/SIDING to our LaserWood line. Not just
some ordinary planking either. These come with nailhead detail, that a
model builder would spend hours if he/she were to emboss them by hand.
The planking comes in 6", 8", 12" and random
widths and are cut to 8 foot lengths, random lengths (4', 6', 10' and 12'), or
left plain without cuts. Use them for decking, fencing, siding, platforms or
what have you. Available in HO, S and O. Sheets are 6" x 12" with 1/4"-1/2" border.

12-01-06 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Unfortunately the the price of our chain has gone up with our costs rising nearly
50 percent in some cases we are told by the (new) management due to the cost of metal
and the fact that they had not adjusted their price for eight years.
|
9-27-06 LASERWOOD STAIR STRINGERS ADDED
We know this is nuts but we found we needed
some steeper stair stringers for a project with an 8 inch rise. So like we did
with the 7 inch (we'll now call standard), we're offering them in three tread
lengths: 9, 10 or 11 inches.
Note that we have increased the quanities to six
in each package and adjusted the price for uniformities sake. We will be doing the
same for the standard packages too with the price actually going down!

9-27-06 NEW SLATE COLOR
Unfortunately our supplier of paper has announced the discontinue of one of our
Slate Shingle stock colors. We bought all the had, several years worth, but fear
the other colors might go too. Well, we'll deal with that when it happens.
Meanwhile, they mistakenly sent us the wrong color that were going to send
back but then thought we might as well add it to our line. It's a very light color
that can be stained, painted or weathered as the modeler desires.

6-1-06 NEW LASER PRODUCTS
Shorter wider versions of our most popular TrueWood Rustic Shingles have been
added. We're also working on some steeper versions of our LaserWood stair stringers
(8" tall steps), treads and construction jigs. This has caused us to adjust prices
and quanities (more for less) on our existing stair stringers.

5-11-06 PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
Due to wear and tear on our embossing machines and the escalating price of
metal we have adjusted the price of our wider corrugated and rib seam.
|
5-1-06 VERY BUSY!
We are busy updating all our laser files to run on the new machine and creating
new ones. All the EE kits are back on line as are most of our laser-cut items.
We are also working on the long awaited limited edition kit no. 12, The National
Belle Mine. And we are working on two new kits for C. C. Crow, The NP Hotel at
Easton and the Durango Roundhouse in O scale.

first in the hobby! During the transition certain laser-cut items will be in
short supply. We've marked them as "LOW" on the price/availability list.

11-10-04 MORE BAD NEWS
The cost of our white metal alloy has nearly doubled in price. We are forced to
adjust our prices accordingly. This effects our HO scale details sets, O scale
figures and parts. We are holding the prices of our Evening Express kits for
the time being. We've noticed increases in brass tubing, wire and chain but are
holding the price there too. We don't know about our metal roofing/siding- We
can only take so much bad news at one time...

11-10-04 LASERWOOD STAIR STRINGERS ADDED
Hey, there is some good news! We forgot to tell
you we're adding a bunch of laser cut wooden stair stringers to our line.
Originally, we had just one, part #7204, a typical single-story, 7" rise by
10" run available only in O scale. Why should they have all the fun?
Not only have we done them in HO and S, but we're doing them in three different
slopes (9, 10 and 11 inch runs on 7 inch rises) and two-story lengths as well.
You should be able to find the right one for your model now.

11-06-04 ? NEW EVENING EXPRESS KITS ?
Where are those new Evening Express kits? They are still not out.
Sorry to say we've encounted some major problems with our computer system
involving the purchase of a new Apple, new operating system and applications.
And learning them. Classic small business problems. Poor alignment of the moon.
We're working on it.

06-05-04 NEW EVENING EXPRESS KITS
We are adding two new Evening Express kits, #615 The Ore Tipple and #616 The
Mine Headframe, shortly (July 1st). These are the first two new Builders In
Scale kits under C. C. Crow. Okay, we cheated a bit and borrowed them from
previous limited run kits- to help us with the transition. The pilot models
will be on display at the 2004 NMRA National Train Show, July 9-11, here in
Seattle. Drop by and see us at booth #325.

we're adding two new smaller kits in the same Colorado mining vein, an ore tipple,
and a mine headframe, to our Evening Express Line of HO scale kits. These should
hit pay dirt this fall and/or winter. Details to be announced shortly.
