industrial building

Hi there

Question about metcalfe Industrial building (the one with the blue doors). Bought one about two years ago and liked its potential to add similar kits. Really enjoyed assembling it…..Robert,you have one on Barchester?..first class layout:cool: Do you have a problem with damp or condensation in Spain in relation to your layout?….I digress:roll:. My point being,I cant find an outlet selling these kits…….are they discontinued?

yours John

You could start with our own Chris T of Kernow Model Rail. Here's a link

Select Metcalfe from the brand list on the left and all the current kits are listed (and in stock). When he comes on, Chris will be able to give you a link directly to the correct page.

John if you mean the kit that can be a bus depot or garage or any other like building
then yes they are still available.

I did build one for Barchester John but it was pulled down and the site used for other purposes. Is this the one you meant?







I get damp and humidity in the railway room in the winter and 40+C in high summer and so far no affect on any of the Metcalfe kits. They are not subject to direct sunlight though. as the windows are frosted glass.
If you become really keen on the Metcalfe kits then it will pay you to get on their mailing list.

Sorry, no industrial building!

The industrial buildings were discontinued some time ago.  (The one in your link is N Gauge Bob).

Metcalfe are slowly working through their older kits (the ones originally number PO20x / PO21x) and replacing them with higher quality models in the PO22x / PO23x etc series.

I have just logged on to the shop admin system and found the old discontinued kits for info



PO208 Metcalfe Half Relief Single Storey Factory



PO207 Metcalfe Half Relief Warehouse.

With those reference numbers you may find someone who still has old stock by googling them if that helps?

Its not the Bus Garage Robert.   The industrial building has an access for Goods Wagons, etc….  Still has BLUE doors, grey brickwork but not a conventional pitched roof.

Anyway, will persevere with my search.  Thanks for your input.

Hope your are enjoying a mild start to autumn.  Its turned very cold here and the days are drawing in very noticeably now. The shops are preparing for Halloween - guess the summer is over - can always hope for an Indian Summer I suppose!

Regards

John. 

 

 

I think you must mean PO219 Metcalfe Industrial Buildings?



This is also discontinued.  Beware that anyone still advertising it but not actually having it in stock will not be able to get them as they sold out a long time ago.

During the building of Barchester's new main station building, platforms 1, 2 and 3 and the diversion of the river bar to make way for it the old warehouse was rebuilt in it's present spot, and is now used by the draughtsmen of the Barchester Engineeringe dept.
