Other Gauge Stuff

Post by FWLR » Fri Dec 07, 2018 9:37 am

While I was looking on a shopping site for middle Daughters Craft Site. I came across this. If I was doing OO gauge model rail I would have bought this. They do have others also.

They loook good at first glance but when you look more closely they are very flat. i.e, no flanges and no angles to girders, no bolt/rivet or reinforcing plate detail, etc. Some of it could be added subsequently I guess, but would need quite a bit of work to make them look anything much.
It seems to be a war diorama site, so they would probably be OK as back ground scenics to blown up tanks or whatever.

They certainly seem reasonably priced for the amount of laser-cutting involved.

I am currently working on a cunning plan to resurrect some of my 00 stuff, it's been languishing in the loft (several different ones) for nearly 40 years.

They do look very cheap for the bridge you get but being flat as Philip said they're probably best suited to a larger layout where the lack of detail may be less noticeable.
