Do you really want a $75 engine house?

Another model company just released a contemporary engine house. It’s plastic, HO and priced at $74.95. Our contemporary steel engine house can be made in any scale. You can make as many as you want or need and it sells for $7.95 or approximatly 10%. Did I mention that you can build as many as you want or as long as you want. Did I mention that our engine house looks fantastically realistic, is a fun and easy project, and needs no additional painting or weathering.

So maybe you want to save some money and buy a couple of locomotives to put in that engine house. Hmmmm.

Or perhaps a $54.95 small depot from another company. It’s wood, it looks a bit like our Branch Line Depot kit #S44 for $9.95. We have two other distinctive stations. The Small Town Station,  kit #S16 for $8.95 or its smaller companion the Flag Stop, kit #S39 for $4.95.

We invite you to do some fact checking. Clever Models kits look as good or better then any other kits on the market.

Contemporary steel engine house is kit, S100 $7.95.

Will it fit in?

One of the things I hear often from folks is: Will your kits fit in with my wood craftsman kits or maybe for background models? Well here’s a pretty great example, that says clearly, “YES” they fit in. We have had many in the past but I never thought about focusing on the point.

Ed Traxxler has become a well respected modeler known for his obsessive attention to detail. He posted this shot on Model Railroad Radio recently. Now he doesn’t often mention it (doesn’t think it’s necessary) but he mixes cardstock and wood and plastic freely. Take a close look at this great picture. Whats’ card and paper and what’s not? Here’s a clue… It’s not the background (though it could be too) 

I think this is proof.

Future Kit?

Just got this scratch build photo from Vern Shaw. My brother thinks it might make a nice kit. I agree. What do you think?
