Source Material for Model Train Villages

Video Transcript

"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Bob Lanning and I’m here to tell you about how we’re making model villages. Now to get information on how to do all this, there’s two or three good magazines, Model Railroader has been around for years, Railroad Model Craftsman, Model Railroad News. And Model Railroader has a great website you can go to ModelRailroader.com, and they have all kinds of articles online, you can run videos and download files on how to do. And then our main source of our product, other than hobby shops is Walter’s Catalog which as you can see, 75th anniversary. We order a lot of our stuff out of this catalog, all the figures that we see and all these vehicles and the, the actual kits that we buy like the cement plant and the saloon, these are all made out of kits, as opposed to a lot of scratch built structures. Price ranges of kits run from $7.95, like this saloon, it’ll be about two hundred dollars, for a kit made out of laser cut wood. Stuff is usually fairly inexpensive, unless you really want a high quality museum type building like the saloon here. But most of the structures are fairly reasonable, in the eight to twenty dollar range. And the museum website is Clemenceaumuseum.org, you’ll have a link to the railroad room on that site. "
