New Model Kit Company

I have yet to pull the trigger. I seen them on Da Bay and the Triangular Freight Transfer and the Casket co are the ones that I am Eyeing on. they have a lot of HO kits too!

Another company making buildings from 20 plus years ago. I wish someone would make modern structures.  I'm so glad Menards is doing what they are with modern structures. I only hope others will follow.  We have all these modern coal and tank cars but no one makes a structure to go with them.  Sorry for my rant.  But great looking buildings by a new company in our hobby. I wish them the best.

Make your own kit.  Plenty of materials available to scratch build your own buildings.  J

I did   My first ever try at scratch building with foam board and styrene.   I just think that there is a market for modern structures.  A flood loader or a Dollar General store.

Mark,

i would pull the trigger on these kits.  I think Rich has discovered some nice ones.

Very, very nice!

And it would be nice, too, if this company could be added to the Scenery Sourcelist created by the late Dave Gauss.

-----------------------------

Forum-meisters:  Any chance to get this company added?  

Looking longer term.....any chance of passing the responsibility for maintaining this valuable resource to a qualified OGR person, so that we could email new/updated info for the sourcelist for consideration????

Just asking.

The kits look pretty good Rich especially for kit bashing.

 Well Lionel did make the Rotary Coal Unloader and MTH make s the tanks and Loader and unloader platform as well!

You can get Joe Faulty to make you some metal looking structure to cover the rotary unloader as well as a modern tank facility!

Thanks Rich for showcasing these! I too love the Korber kits and these remind me of them yet they are unique! Definitely have to get some!

Here are some photos of the build in progress.  The kit is nice and the instructions are detailed with lots of drawings and photos

Just went on their website and could not bring up their O gauge kits! Guess I will try again!

That Wilson Brothers building looks like a larger version of the Clevermodels "Plant #2" kit.

$130 plus shipping and import duties to the UK for the Wilson Brothers kit, or $10 instant download for the Clevermodels kit...

I know which I prefer!

Still, I'm definitely interested in your build of the kits, they do both look very nice.

I am a somewhat recent addition to the O Scale shadowbox building and now kit field. As a Forum participant since 2000, I appreciate both the resources that it offers and the level of advertising protection that is provided to advertisers. When I first started offering an introduction on the Structures threads it was clearly my intent to ultimately sell them to those who read the posts. After several conversations with OGR, I understood their intent and policy, and they set me up with the sponsorship opportunity. 

I look forward to meeting new potential customers at York in two weeks. For those who have followed and supported my products, thank you!

Many have asked about our models in kit form and we're making some available. If you would be interested in a session at York to get an introduction to our methods and materials, I am all in! It would have to be after show hours and not during Forum dinner night. Call me to discuss!!!

I have some of Doug products and they are very nice.  If you like detailed background structures his shadow box items are well built and very nice.  He also has several library's of letters to make great in building signs.

That was a good find. I just sent them a request for quote on my Bronx Building. Andre Garcia is tied up on a long-term assignment with his previous employer, helping to launch a very new idea for offset printing. He's been gone for months at a time.

This kit was a Christmas gift from my wife. It is a great kit and easy build with nice details. I would recommend this brand of kits to anyone

Nice build Steve!

Based on this new connection, I've been in contact with Rich at Right on Track Models. I've given him drawings of the Bronx Victorian (small version) in DXF format. CorelDraw can convert to AutoCad which is what Rich uses. I got a quote from him today and it appears reasonable. I would like River Leaf to also give me quote and I will go with the most reasonable. Each approaches it differently. Rich uses thinner basswood for the basic box, whereas Andre used 1/4" MDF. Basswood is a more traditional laser-cut material (a la Bar Mills) and is very easy to work with, whereas 1/4" MDF is thick enough that you don't need to add much corner bracing. It's a tradeoff and both engrave bricks nicely. I'll keep all those interested posted on my thread.

I ,scratch, bash, and build structures and am always looking for older and "different" structure kits.  So this maker is welcome.

With Tucker Carlson in the background? I knew there was a reason I liked you!!

Doug,

Not going to York in April, but we can discuss off line. While I was working with River Leaf, Andre's day job is consuming most (all) of his time. I'm sure he will be back on the model company when that dies down, but the company for whom he's working is bringing out a radically new method to do offset printing and (seems to me) that it will be quite a while before he is released to pursue his other interests. That being said, I really shouldn't be speaking to him, but I can attest that he's been consumed from late Fall until now and that's almost 6 months.

I completed the Kit show above with some of my own signage and details. Very nice kit.  I intend to add more to my layout.

Just so you all know, I had a nice visit with Rich Segal of Right On Track Models and he has joined the forum and has committed to becoming a sponsor / advertiser....details this coming week.
