I bought a bunch of stuff from them a few years ago - are they really gone?
the website still works - http://www.elfinmodels.com/index.html
I was very pleased with the service & products I got from them
Are you sure they are out of business?how do you no this-would like to no because there models where very nice.sorry to here this if true
I don't think they are, as the website works. Give them a call. the number is on their site
G&S Hobbies sells a lot of their buildings already built and with interiors for not much more than Elfin sells the kits for.
They are in the Orange Hall at York. Maybe someone has their e-mail or phone number. I know they are nice people to do business with. They also make detailed for other manufacturers buildings.
I have done business with G&S Hobbies in the past. Their phone number is 678-642-8325.
THANKS FOR EVERYONES HELP, I CALLED ELFIN THEY ARE OUT OF BUISNES , I CALLED G&S THEY ARE UNAVALIBLE TECHMAN
I purchased some buildings from him about 8 months ago. At that time he said he was cutting back a bit because he had lost some of the help that was helping him finish the models. I hope that they have just slowed down and not out of business. They provided a great product.
Too bad about Elfin. I was planning on ordering some fronts in the near future. does anyone know a company that provides a product similar to Elfin?

There was another thread last week on this same subject so I emailed them. I thought there might be some leftover inventory. But, the response was that they had closed it down and would close the website shortly. There is a guy named Joe (modelstructures@q.com) who does this kind of work and he responded on the other thread that I mentioned. The thread was last week and is under the "building fronts" title. He said he's currently doing some 3-5 story buildings so he's definitely a possible resource.

The thread was last week and is under the title "building fronts" (currently on the second page of the Scenery and Structures forum). Joe said he's currently doing about twelve 3-5 story buildings from Ameritowne walls so he's definitely a resource.

Techman, I noticed a group of Elfin fronts on eBay the other day being offered by Trainz.com. You might check it out to see if it's still listed and if it's what you might want.

I prefer to build and paint my own. They are the same buildings that OGR sells the best I can tell. Painting these buildings is what got me in to decorating my modules and layout. Take the plunge it is a ball. LJ
It's sad that they had to close. I have many of their fronts. Very nice to deal with, they were up in their years (in their 80's I believe), as were their few employees. Will be missed.
I found an Elfin building and may have more from a layout taken down a few years back.
