Saw these a long time ago - but the costs are...prohibitive to say the least.

I liked the mines, but as stated way overboard on the price :o

Thus, the "wow"

This is the same company which had the really big, elaborate buildings (I think they're intended for railroad use given the scale).  Some really slick stuff, but...priced for railroaders (which must be mostly rich old retired guys!)  lol

They are nice, but nothing to warrant that kind of outlay.

I may well steal some designs though.

I like their shake shingles a lot, but those are intended for the model railroad market. The detail tends to be a lot finer and they are designed for specific scale primarily HO (1/87) but they have S (1/64) and N scales as well. S scale is usable but is going to be a tad bit small although they might work for Dixon. They are going to be a bit fragile and labor intensive. But they looked great on my HO turn of the century layout before it was replaced with a modern diesel layout.
