Ragpicker's Row

COMING 2025

Inspired by Jacob Riis' photos of New York City in the late 1800's, Ragpicker's Row will be an urban, multi-structure kit that centers around a mainline and siding track, with an infamous, vehicle-eating crossing and branching alleyways.

Shouldered by bloated tenements, opium dens, and seedy no-good businesses, the row is a major artery for this part of town... and also a dangerous one. An escape route for some and a home for others, the infamous "Row" has been described as --

"An arcardia of garbage, where the basements in some of the old houses were so vile, that their broken-down doors should be approached only with fingers in your nostrils.”

We are very much in the building phase of this exciting new "big kit"!

Note: all the structures can be built and used separately.
