Had this e-mail today from Metcalfe showing their latest card models. Thought all you Metcalfe fans would be interested. This is their home page :

Looks good Bob, like the look of that tunnel entrance, may be able to use them on my road bridge.
Phill

Excellent addition to the range, the corner shops should come in handy in many situations.

Further to my coment ref the bridge's i notice the tops are flat and road width size, so as i am still in the process of decideing how to do the arch bits under the road i may as well just get some of these and lay the road on top, sorted.
Phill

Don't forget this kit is one sided Phill and is meant to back up against a hillside.

Oh right  :oops: .
Found the main website if anyone is interested, some good stuff on there, all gauge's and any scene is catered for

Apologise if its already been given.
Phill

Phil, don't forget that you could buy 2 kits, build the one as normal, then stick the printed part of kit 2 on the other side.
Then you have a bridge and butresses and have become a "trainee scratchbuilder"  :!:  :!:

Shoudn't that be "kit-basher" :?:  :?:  :!:  :wink:  :wink:

What a wonderfull idea and they are roughly 9quid so 16pound for 2 that means 4 arch's needed thats 72 pound  :shock:  erm nah i think i go back to the drawing bored thanks Jeff   :D  :D  but thanks for the idea
Phill

I would think that simple plate girder bridges would be what you needed Phill. Nothing fancy and easy to make.

have you looked up scalescenes phill,? worth a look if you are having to watch the pennies .

Great looking additions to their range Bob.

Unfortunately, my "street" scene will be stone - I'm planning a mill for my layout - might be called "Dunnow Mill Junction"

Maybe they'll introduce the corner shop in stone soon.  I think their HQ is in Skipton and that's certainly a "stone" area.

Petermac

I know they do stone cottages Petermac and probably other stone stuff. I haven't looked lately.

I've checked and a stone version is currently being made and will be released shortly, so you'll be OK, Petermac.

That's great news Jeff - thanks. :D
