They produce over 200 card models in 4mm and 7mm scale. They do a very interesting range of Irish narrow gauge trains in 7mm scale. Some of the 7mm models include white metal details such as chimney pots. They suggest you send 6 second class stamps and a self addressed envelope for a copy of their catalogue. The catalogue includes a voucher for £1 off your next purchase. I sent them an open cheque for "up to ten pounds" and asked for a sample building kit. They sent me the Crossing Keepers cottage. I have bought other models from them since then. There is one of their NER platform shelters on Jenswell. NER platform shelter <http://fav.me/d6d4mvl> That one was a nice build as it uses laminates to create a timber frame structure. Now I just wish I had used the window transparencies and modelled the interior! Regards, Chris On Thursday, 5 December 2013 04:54:02 UTC, den wrote: > > Chris; > > very nice structure.
