The pictures show how we have modified the kit using 3mm thick plastic card( to replace the card supplied with the kit) to form the roof surfaces
The printed card side walls & windows have been glued to thin plastic-card to strengthen them. This makes a big difference to the appearance of the finished kit.

All the kits for are designed for easy construction & can be super-detailed by the addition of glazing, etc. Use balsa wood or plastic-card to strengthen & detail your kit.
Rolling stock kits can also be super detailed & even motorised to enable them to operate on your '00' or 'HO' model railway! Using Metromodels bogies & chassis. Please ask for details.

Not sure how to build the kits? - visit our 'How to do it' section for further information & a video demonstration. If you take care & take time assembling your kit, you will be surprised at the level of detail you can achieve with these kits!

All kits are carefully packed in purpose designed card hard backed A4 envelopes to
