Three, very nice, N gauge (OK, scale, but you know what I mean) buildings, for a fiver. Thanks Elaine's Trains at TINGS. Apparently, they were part of a much larger collection, that mostly sold out on the Saturday.
I'm told the manufacturer is SD Models, although they don't appear to be related to S&D Models, but I do remember hearing the name in the past. Do they still exist?
Made of plaster, each model has been in the wars with chips and dings. I'm hoping that a little touching in with thinned paint will hide the worst damage. Being plaster though, the colours and wall textures are superb.
To be honest, I bought these out of curiosity, and because I sometimes need to set up photographic scenes, and my N gauge building collection is minimal. These might appear in the few backgrounds in the future.
This is one of the reasons I go to shows. You don't get bargains like this on the web!
I vaguely remember a company called SD Mouldings (rather than Models) in about the early to mid 1980s, could that be it?
ReplyDeleteI wondered about this, but seem to remember that those were resin and unpainted. I'll need to go back through some old model railway mags to check. There was a lovely model of Dunster market hall I think.
ReplyDeleteThey were available unpainted and painted
