O Gauge L & B Railway Inspired Buildings
The Dapol range of self-coloured card kits has moved on to the next stage of its development. The prototype L & B Railway inspired buildings were show cased at the 2023 GOG Kettering show this weekend (04/03/2023) and were very well received by the members of the public who attended.
The kits will be laser cut from the finest self-coloured card and include all the necessary injection moulded or 3D printed accessory parts (including glazing) to complete the model. Where appropriate the models will be supplied with printed interior decoration. All you need is glue.
The kits are based on real world prototypes but are easily customizable lending themselves to “kit bashing” should the modeler wish to have something truly bespoke on their layout. Each kit will have a set of detailed assembly instructions included with them.
