FDNY Ladder Co. No. 8 (Ghostbusters) (Coming Soon)

$44.95

Red Arrow Line’s  Craftsman HO scale Fire Department of New York (Hook &) Ladder Number 8 (Ghostbusters) kit. Inspired by the 1903 still operating station at 7 North Monroe street, the building originally had double bays and two doors, but was cut in half in 1914 to accommodate street widening.

The ladder company has a long history; first organized as a volunteer company in 1865 and has served the Tribeca area for 160 years; played a significant role when responding to the World Trade Center attacks;  and, on a lighter note, played the part of the Ghostbusters headquarters in the film of the same name.

The building is a classic example of Beaux-Arts style brick and limestone façade. It underwent extensive renovations in recent years.

Our kits are inspired by actual historic buildings, many still standing. Each kit is individually laser cut and engraved in very small batches after extensive research of available photos and other information.

All kits include detailed illustrated instructions.

THIS IS A KIT. YOU MUST PROVIDE YOUR OWN GLUE, PAINT,AND PATIENCE.

Vehicles and figures NOT included.

 Returns accepted within 14 days for unopened kit boxes.

Description

At Red Arrow Lines, we’re passionate about helping you build stunning, realistic model railroad scenes. Our HO scale craftsman kits are inspired by real-world structures, many of which continue to stand the test of time, some over a century old. Each kit is meticulously researched to capture the unique stories and history of these buildings, bringing them to life on your layout with a level of detail that’s both authentic and striking.

Designed and crafted by lifelong model railroaders, every kit is individually laser-cut and engraved with precision, then kits are assembled in small batches to ensure quality and attention to detail. We use a variety of premium wood products—such as basswood, birch, and oak—to create enduring, detailed models that will stand out in your collection.

To guide you through your build, each kit includes step-by-step instructions with photos and helpful tips for a smooth assembly process. All kits are carefully packaged and offered at reasonable prices, so you can focus on bringing your railroad dreams to life without breaking the bank.
