Busch 1552 HO Scale Brickworks Press House Laser-Cut Kit

Add authentic industrial history to your HO layout with the Busch 1552 brick press house, a detailed laser-cut kit. In buildings like this, mined clay was mixed with water and forced through an extrusion press, much like a meat grinder, to form an endless rectangular strand shaped to a brick's cross-section, which was then cut into blanks and finished into bricks through drying and firing. The model perfectly reproduces the timber-frame and brick construction of a working press house.

The Busch 1552 kit includes a real wooden double gate that opens and an entry ramp for the tram wagons with a folding wooden gate, adding working-scene detail. It uses a sturdy plug-together substructure clad with pre-cut, colored parts for easy assembly; you will also need a hobby knife and model glue such as Busch 7599. Measured with its access ramp, item 1552 is 10-3/16 x 3-3/16 x 3 in. (25.8 x 8.1 x 7.6 cm, height 76 mm), making a distinctive centerpiece for a brickworks scene.
