Miniature N-Scale Victorian World Main Street Arcade Building Assembled White 1:160 by Gold Rush Bay
Gold Rush Bay Ready Built miniature N-Scale Victorian World Main Street Arcade Building Measures 1.5 inch wide by 3 inches deep by 3 inches tall.
World Main Street is designed to evoke the charm and idealized vision of a turn-of-the-20th-century American small town. While it originally featured a "Penny Arcade," this area has largely evolved into retail space, often incorporating arcades within larger shop fronts or as part of other themed areas.
The Arcade on Main Street exterior design adheres to the overall Main Street aesthetic, characterized by:
* Victorian/Edwardian Architecture: The buildings on Main Street showcase the architectural styles popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This means you'd see:
* Ornate details: Intricate trim work, decorative cornices, and detailed window frames.
* Colorful facades: Buildings are often painted in a palette of warm, inviting colors, often with contrasting trim to highlight architectural features.
* Brick or stone finishes: Many buildings feature brickwork or simulated stone, adding to the period authenticity.
* Large display windows: Ground-level windows are often large and designed to showcase merchandise or, in the case of an arcade, the games within, enticing passersby.
* Marquees or awnings: Contributing to the street's bustling, commercial atmosphere. The "Arcade" name would have been prominently displayed.
* Forced Perspective: A key design element of World Main Street is forced perspective. The buildings subtly decrease in scale as they recede towards the Castle, making the street appear longer and the castle grander. The arcade's exterior would have been part of this illusion.
* Themed Entrances: Even if it was part of a larger building, the entrance to the Arcade is clearly defined and themed to invite guests into a nostalgic world of amusements. This might include:
* Arched doorways.
* Gas lamp-style lighting fixtures.
* Possibly small display cases showcasing antique arcade machines or curiosities.
The design language of World Main Street reminding guests of a bygone era of simple pleasures and mechanical marvels. Today, any arcade elements on Main Street would be integrated into the existing shop exteriors, maintaining the overall turn-of-the-century theme.
