There was a mention a while ago here http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/39003-3dk-kits/

 

It would seem that it is a Scottish firm as they produce full kits that are for sale by Invertrains - click on side bar for card kits and then 3DK This says that they are designed by the same person who produces Highland Castings that are now part of the Invertrains range.

I picked up a second hand medium size brick built station kit ref 3dbk010 which is complete with fittings etc. No web site quoted on the packaging (not opened yet!) but there is a phone number, email and home address. However as I don't know how up to date this is, I won't publish the details here - if you need any more information, Chris Smith at Invertrains should be able to help

Apparently he used to produce the building kits as pre-printed kits in the UK that were

posted out in a pack, but the cost of producing the kits became too great so now

he just sells them as PDF downloads on EBay.

There are certain shops that still have back stock and it is that you see advertised.

 

In my ongoing quest for "0" scale buildings that print to A4 I found these.

I have no Idea what 28-30mm means? But they do print to A4 and going by the height of the doors are as near as dammit "0" scale.

 

They are certainly different!

Hello,

 

I found this thread from a search on Google and thought I would post this in case anyone found it useful. I tried making backscene type buildings from brick paper, they looked dreadful. I had made some Scalescenes freebies and thought I wonder if I took some pics could I convert them to back scenes using the skills I'd gathered. After the usual failures I got to this;

With the help of some software I would think it possible to do some flat fronted shops.

 

Here's the thread on my layout with bits and pics about the above scattered amongst it;

28mm is a scale used in wargaming. It scales to approx 1:56 which i think is about 5.4mm ft. So small for O gauge. 28mm is the height of an average model person. I could be corrected here.

Some useful links here folks - thanks

I always thought it was a shame Metcalfe stopped producing their O gauge range.....

 

Although Bachmann Scenecraft O gauge buildings are pricey,

we are at least seing more buildings available in O :)

 

Perhaps with the amount of RTR locos and rolling stock ever increasing,

we may see more and more building kits becoming available........

 

Cheers

Thanks for starting this thread
