2.   O / On30 Brick Wall Panels
Modular Brick & Concrete Wall Panels in Laser cut wood.

The O scalers have asked, and we have made these modular wall panels available for their scratch building projects.

Suitable for both O scale, and On30 (Narrow Gauge) modelling.

Just like our N & HO scale kits, these O scale kits are "3D" Laser engraved and cut from both MDF, and Birch Plywood.

Solid construction with no bracing required.

Easy to paint with basic "rattle can" sprays or hand applied acrylics. See our
"How to" articles under the website "Paint" menu.

"Trim-to-Position" Double Hung Windows with Pre-cut Glazing.  Position-able doors.

Separate (paintable) Window Sills & Headers.  "No Mask" painting of these parts ensure a nice clean build execution in contrasting colours.

(connects with our Olympia Tool & Die Kit & future ITLA O scale kit wall systems)

4.   Shipping Status & Covid-19
Well, I don't have to remind you how frustrating 2020 was, nor how we're still facing significant challenges in the beginning of 2021.

I believe we are all fortunate from the perspective of having such a great hobby to fall back into during these difficult times.

We continue to appreciate each and every one of you, our customers, with a hand written "Thank You" note on your packing slips. It's our sincere hope that your purchase puts a smile on your face when it lands in your hands.

We strive to ship your order out in a timely manner, usually well within 48 hours.  Unfortunately our nation's postal systems have been significantly impacted from Covid-19 and deliveries are significantly impacted.  

Whether Expedited, Tracked, or Air Mail ... every package is taking extraordinary amounts of time to arrive at their destinations ... we're now seeing 6 weeks for a package that would've taken 1.5 weeks pre Covid.  Our experience is showing us that the packages are reaching their destinations, just taking an incredible amount of time, and we're sorry for that.

We understand how frustrating that can be, and we share that frustration with you.  All of the manufacturers I speak to are experiencing the very same issue.

Please know that we are doing the best we can on our end to get your package quickly and safely into the postal systems.

We truly appreciate your patience


Take care and stay safe.
