IH dealership
One of my hobbies in addition to Cub Cadets is model railroading; I tend to do this in the winter to keep myself sane during the winter blahs. I have a 12X8 layout in my basement that's loosely based on the N&W (Norfolk and Western) during the early 1960s in southern Ohio. This allows me to loosely model the midwest, which I grew up in (and still live in) but still have the motive power & such that belongs to the prototypical railroad.
ANYWAY... I had wanted an IH dealership on my layout for years, after seeing similar ones done in magazines. Generally they were just square buildings with some tractors out front and a few tractor related signs here and there. That really didn't cut it with me. The more research I did on the building dealerships that were prominent in the 60s, I knew I had to go with the pylon building that Raymond Lowey designed. No kits were available for this model, so I had to do a partial scratchbuilt. It started out as a supermarket kit that my brother got me for Christmas. http://www.micromark.com/RS/SR/Product/83934_R.jpg I used pieces of this for the dealership. There are various sheet styrene pieces, square plastic pieces were incorporated, and the pylon is a piece of pine block that has brick sheeting surrounding it. On to the pics...   The dealership doesn't exist in prototype: it is named after the best 40+ year experience IH mechanic that I know. (my dad)     Here it is on the layout. Still needs to be sceniced in (aka made to look like it belongs there and not just plopped in place)  ---Continued----

AWESOME looking setup! Feel free to share more pics of the whole thing, I for one love model setups. When I was a kid, (and now to some extent), I collected 1/64 farm toys with my dad. At one point, my bedroom was totally, and I mean TOTALLY, taken over by a diarama we set up. Had roads with gravel along the edges and everything. We even used stop motion to make a short video of a tractor driving down the road and turning into the driveway
 But I digress.Nice setup

I love the dealer model. It looks a lot like many IH dealerships that were in this area of Illinois.
Please post some more pictures of your layout. You can make it tractor related with several loads of tractors and implements in transit to your IH store! Tim

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
