phil.c Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 What are best ones out there, I mean true to scale, I have seen a few but the sides look too thick to be true to life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexAshton Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The Coopercraft ones are quite nice - if you can find any. These are about the finest but a bit fiddly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_man Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) I still have a few Cooper Craft kits in stock including 4 3 packs of the GWR Benches. http://www.modelrailwayimports.com/products.php?q=cooper+craft&s=5 Shipping to the UK for these small kits is quite inexpensive - usually CAD$12 for Small Packet Air (no tracking or insurance).

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted February 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2018 Only just seen this thread. Have you thought about 3D printing? I've not used these but did have some Great Northern benches from another designer which were very good in 4mm IMHO https://www.shapeways.com/shops/scale-models-1?section=4mm+scale&s=0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil.c Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 The 3D seats look excellent, a bit pricey as one would expect, I finally decided on the etched brass kit from Severnmodels...hopefully they've not gone bust Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
