Welcome to my web site!
|
I have been producing my Fine Hydrocal Casting and Kits for
model railroaders for nearly three decades. 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. Inside this site you'll find information
on the resulting castings and kits, and much much more.

Besides just selling my 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.

NOW IN PRODUCTION
|
CURRENTLY IN STOCK - BUT VERY LIMITED
|
I wish I could keep everything in production! But unfortunately I cannot.
Currently I still have more On3 Durango roundhouse kits on order, each
taking a week or two to produce, so they are in constant production and a top priority. Then there are a dozen Gunnison versions to complete...
During this time I will be limited on other casting orders.
I know I should not have, but I am doing a SPECIAL 2nd RUN of the RIDGWAY ROUNDHOUSE and BRICK OFFICE BUILDING in HOn3. I know, it's long over due but we are finally almost there. Sorry, I can't promise them by Christmas, but soon after if not a few before. About 50 are reserved so it will take a while.
RIDGWAY ROUNDHOUSE INFO
And I am making progress on the DURANGO ROUNDHOUSE in HO scale with the door and window patterns for white metal complete. But lots of work left to do there...
Guess I had better get busy!

2006 CONVENTION ALBUM
My apologizes that this has taken so long but we are finally
in production. With over 60 of them reserved I'm hoping to produce about
one per week (as hard as I try they take twice that!). So new orders are a year or two away.
I'm beginning production with the full 10-stall orders for
Durango. Less than orders and Gunnison will follow. If you have reserved a kit you
might want to reconfirm with changing e-mails and such. I've sent announcements out
to the first dozen (full-stall orders). Check on the kit info page to review the
drawings that are now posted.
If you reserved a kit and have not heard from me recently please
contact me as several reservation notices have not been responded to.
ROUNDHOUSE KIT INFORMATION
You guys are going to freak-out when you see Glenn Farley's
Gunnison roundhouse construction article in the Narrow Gauge Gazette. It is truely
an amazing model. Glenn pushed me to produce not just one masterpiece but four,
Gunnison, Durango in original, "classic" and late versions. No wonder it's taken
so long but worth the wait.

BEST VIEWED? WITH MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLODER!
Well, it was a few versions ago. Not that Internet Explorer is
the greatest web browser- but this site was carefully built to best be viewed
there. Unfortunately, not all web browsers are built the same and it looks pretty
awkward with Netscape Navigator and Apple's Safari. "Not my fault." Well, that's
what happens when you don't follow the simple rules of HTML. What You See- Isn't
Necessarily What You Get! But we sure tried... Guess we could cut and paste it
onto a template and look like every other web site, but that's the point, this is not
like all the others, IT's SCRATCH-BUILT, so please enjoy even with the technical e-flaws.
