Rat Hole
Downtown Deco HO Scale Structure Kit
A wonderfully run-down urban structure that captures the gritty side of city life with all the character, history, and questionable building maintenance you could ask for.
Product Overview
Every city has that building. The one that's been around forever, survived countless ownership changes, somehow escaped demolition, and looks like it has stories it probably shouldn't tell. The Rat Hole is exactly that kind of structure.
Packed with urban character and weathered charm, this Downtown Deco kit represents the sort of aging city building that instantly makes a scene feel more realistic. While shiny new structures certainly have their place, it's often the worn brickwork, faded signs, patched repairs, and years of accumulated history that give a layout its personality.
The Rat Hole fits naturally into industrial districts, older downtown neighborhoods, warehouse areas, back alleys, and transitional urban scenes. It can serve as a tavern, dive bar, small business, apartment building, social club, or whatever story your railroad needs it to tell.
Like other Downtown Deco kits, the Rat Hole features highly detailed cast Hydrocal construction with outstanding texture and depth. The kit rewards careful painting and weathering, making it a perfect project for modelers who enjoy bringing realistic urban scenery to life.
Product Features
Because Not Every Building Passes Inspection
Your railroad already has the nice part of town. Now it's time to add the building everyone knows, nobody talks about, and somehow still manages to collect rent.
The Rat Hole delivers exactly the kind of gritty realism that makes visitors stop, laugh, and immediately start inventing stories about what goes on inside. After all, every great city scene needs at least one building that raises a few questions.
