Is it my imagination or are the Woodland Scenics structures smaller than DPM? Which is truly 1:87?

Dunno really,
Same company if you check however. Design Preservation Models and Woodland Scenics are the same or owned by a common company.
I think that Woodland scenics make more branch line/rural type structures as opposed to mainline big city types.

I believe WS is more along the lines of scenery - grass, turf, trees, landscaping, & small scenes. DPM is larger buildings although WS has a few smaller buildings.

Almost all HO structure are selectively compressed. Apparently WS and DPM were once independent but are now connected in some way. And yes, WS has structures that seem more small town, rural, than DPM.

I think Dave Osment, founder of Osment Models Inc., might be a bit surprised to find out Osment Models Inc. dba Woodland Scenics, DPM, etc. belong to Bachmann.

Wow. I guess you learn something new everyday. I never knew that DPM, Woodland Scenics and Bachmann were somehow linked in ownership.

Haven't seen any new Woodland Scenics stuff for a while. All the WS structures that I have are old cast metal ones. Any of the DPM ones that I have are plastic. All are in kit form. Maybe it's time to go back to the LHS!

Hi John,
I believe that nothing has changed as to the type of material used in each line but check the website of WS and you'll see that there are lots of new things available or soon to be available. Your LHS might not have the newest stuff in stock yet. But it’s good to know that you at least have a LHS. <sigh>

Thanks Rich, I'll take a look and see what I've been missing - or at least what I can expect. We're fortunate to have 3 very well stocked hobby shops in Calgary. Next weekend is SuperTrain - our annual train show and one of the largest in western Canada. I expect that there'll be a lot of interesting things there. Sure helps pass the time in the winter here. Today it's about -4 F and snowing sideways!
Cheers!
John
