ATTENTION - SPECIAL NOTICE
|
SHOP CLOSED - DEC. 2023 - STORAGE LIMBO
|
|
Sorry. Unfortunately, with the passing of my father Clarence
I need to shutdown the shop and move to a new loacation.
This will take time and not be easy.
I'm not young anymore and the housing market here near Seattle is hyper-inflated and stagnant.
Almost everywhere is it seems.
I spent the first half of '23 packing up my shop and home of 45 years.
There was not a square inch in the basement that didn't have something packed into it.
Working from few to no hours of sleep at the end somehow I packed it into 10 x 35 feet
to the ceiling. It will be a two hour special on Storage Wars someday.
After removing everything, repairing, painting, preparing the house for sale,
it was sold and now dealing with the estate, probate and lawyers...
I'm stuck in storage limbo for the time being. It sucks.
I hope to get back to production but at this point I'm not sure when.
It's not for lack of trying.

Welcome to my web site!
|
I have been producing my Fine Hydrocal Casting and Kits for
model railroaders since 1983.
Hydrocal is a dense castable gypsum cement (similar to Plaster of Paris) in which
I have artistically carved, scribed and cast masonry detail to very precise scale.
From simple brick and stone scratch-building panels to complex multi-stall roundhouse,
with much in between. Inside this site you'll find information on my castings and kits,
and much much more.
See PRICE & AVAILABILITY
for current details.
Besides just selling castings and kits I'll give you an inside look
at how I do it. My way of giving back to the hobby, not just taking.

There is a long list of these reserved years ago. I'm about halfway

best I could do.

ROUNDHOUSE KIT INFORMATION
You guys are going to freak-out when you see Glenn Farley's
Gunnison roundhouse. It is truely an amazing model. Even we look at in amazement and wonder who did that?
Glenn pushed me to produce not just one masterpiece but four, his Gunnison, Durango in original, "classic",
with windowed engine doors, and late versions.

Much is completed but not in production any time soon.
