Does anybody know where in the UK I can get US freight doors

....... Suitable for rail access to single storey, multi-door warehouses, either similar to the ones that were done by Unit Models, or with weather-seals like those on the Cornerstone kits? If anyone has a 3d printer and can make them at a reasonable price, please PM me. I need at least a dozen in HO scale. TIA. Did find some made by Pikestuff and sold by Mega-Models in USA, but it looks as though shipping across the pond may make them nonsensically priced and prohibitably expensive.

Dear Shortliner,

 

Unsure how your local Walthers sources/ordering works, but they do a kit of their industrial roller doors

It also appears PECO may do something which could work, with some paint/graffiti/weathering

Worst comes to worst, some scale corrugated iron

laminated to a styrene-sheet backing could work for emulating the "552-ssm300" PECO link offering above...

 

Happy Modelling,

PS if you _really_ wanted to be thrifty, and could make up for the $ with creativity,
a texture-sheet from ScaleScenes https://scalescenes.com/product/tx54-metal-plates-timber/ might give some suitable fodder?
