Title: Metcalfe OO Buildings
Post by: AndyJB on June 22, 2012, 01:05:40 PM
Anyone tell me how well these go together, are they realistic, will they accept weathering, will ground cover (Ivy) adhere to them?
I would like to know before I mail order them from the UK as they are not available here in Canada.

Do a Google search for  Metcalfe OO Buildings

Go join the Trains.com, Model Railroader site as some there have discussed this product. I did a search of that forum.

I've put together the small factory kit just recently. the directions had step by step instructions with colored pictures. I used rocket card glue, it's quick drying and dries clear. it turned out pretty nicely. looks nice when completed.  ;) i tried a superquick model just a little bit after the metclafe model and it wasn't the same. metclafe was by far the better kit.
