The models looks very tempting but I have to check the costs for sending it to Germany first.

Ciao

English O scale is 1/43 and only the most open minded or desperate accept it.

They send fast and have a reasonable price.

I ordered HO scale items an used them as scenery for large 15mm figures - so I can not commend on the O scale stuff sorry.

I use a lot of 1/43 diecast cars with my 28 mm heroic scale minis. I think 'true' scale look a bit odd (small). But it's a matter of taste, I guess...

Is there an english onlinestore selling these thing (ordering from the US could be a bit difficult for us "krauts" because we can only order for 25US$ without paying extra charge ^^).

But i must have these workbanks for my mafia Car House ;)

Post by: Remington on 22 February 2009, 01:48:27 PM: Yesterday my first small order to rustyrail arrived. The time required for the packet to arrive was quite good. A week from the US to Germany. The shipping costs were a bit high with 14$, but I wanted to own at least one scene. :D I ordered the 1934 Ford pickup, the wood piles and a small shack. Rick, who runs the webshop, included two crates as a small bonus. I thought I'll post some pictures to shop how these pieces match with an Artizan miniature. I think they match quite well.

Excuse the photo quality, but they were rushed and I need to reinstall photoshop. And I hate paint, with which I don't know how to remove those white bars under the pictures. ::)

Here is the pickup:

The Shack and some parts from the wood piles

Post by: Mancha on 22 February 2009, 05:17:07 PM: Thanks for these pictures; especially with the for-scale mini. The shack and other small bits look perfect, but the pickup looks a trifle over-large. I bet that would be less of a problem with the wrecked train engine though.

Post by: Remington on 22 February 2009, 06:17:33 PM: Well, I thought at first that it is a bit too large as well, but I compared it to a matchbox Ford T and the size was not much off. I would even say that the dimensions were the same. Even the axle and tire distance was comparable.
