Identifying model kit by sprue number

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Hello everyone,

I have a couple of walls on the sprue but no clue which structure they are. A search on walthers resulted in nothing and google never identified it either.

They are 2 story brick walls, arched windows on what I believe is the front.

The sprue number is 700 3032

Any help would be great

Thanks

700 is not a number which I can seem to trace as assigned to any manufacturer in the Walthers catalog system, but 3032 is the Walthers Crown Paint and Hardware structure kit which might be made for them by Heljan which could account for that 700. I too have acquired orphaned Walthers sprues and find that the last numbers are the useful ones, not the prefix

Walthers - Crown Paint & Hardware - Kit - 933-3032

I’m not certain, but I believe the first three digits are Walther’s manufacturer identification numbers. If you scan thru Walther’s online catalog, you might be able to spot the numbers and confirm this.

Also Walthers will use a sprue in more then one kit. Nearly everyone I have bought has parts left over not in the directions.

Good looking kit.

Apparently this is the kit that I have. Thank you very much. Ill have to remember that the last numbers are the important ones. I am missing the back wall but I can over come that with sheet styrene in brick pattern or just use black styrene and make it a background building.

I do know that Walthers will have runs of parts sprues and put them in a box even if the structure only calls for one or two parts off that sprue. Ive probably got 8 rooftop detail sprues from various kits that only needed an ac unit off of it. Lol

Thanks for the help
