Update of kits coming

We are slow to release kits. Yes we are, but the reasons are good. The Firehouse has been revised at least 4 times. It looks great. I just saw the test build for the first time a couple of days ago and I’m very happy with it. The stone cornice work looks great. We literally had multiple ways to build it, that had to be tested. The one that looked the most complex turned out to be the easiest to build. We wouldn’t have known that if we rushed it.

The  Wood’s Mill is breath taking. Bob Bruce is test building it and has flooded me with pix and revisions and suggestions. All of which have taken time to impliment. I’m still working on the waterwheel and flume. We are taking something in real life that is a museum and making into a representation of a working mill.

Yes its been a long time coming, but the wait is worth the result.

Spillin Chemical and the other modern era kits came together quickly. Not so much kits, more a system for creating almost any modern steel building. A higher price than most kits but you’ll never need another modern kit.

There’s a couple of others that will surface soon. We’ll keep them a surprise.

Follow this link to a great article and some really nice build pix of “Wright’s General Repair” AND these are N scale.

A pic from the King

I have a feeling Dave Frary doesen’t like the King moniker he’s been saddled with but it’s undeniable that he’s one of the most recognized and respected modelers on the planet and a real nice guy to boot. He was keeping a low profile until recently, (he’s a master competitive BBQ cook) deciding to be more visible in the railroad hobby again. He’s been posting pics of his past builds on facebook and heres one from a Nantucket museum On30 layout that features a couple of our smaller kits and materials.

When we first started out with cardstock modeling Dave was very supportive and got the paper models thing right away. He’s a pro and knows a good thing when he sees it.

He commented that our kits fit right in with all the scratchbuilds and no one even notices that they’r paper.

A discussion about distruction

A customer who enjoys modifying our kits sent me some ideas about making a damaged structure. He wanted my input. I don’t think he knows the can of worms he’s opening. Here’s a model I did as a prototype for a toy company almost 10 years ago. Its 1/20th scale.
