very pleased with the detailing on these items and I’m looking forward to getting them painted up and adding my own twist on some added detailing. Items are excellent with minimal flash to clean up. My order has a missing handle on the workbench vice, (not found in the...

Team Track models supply scratch build textures and downloadable paper model kits for model railroaders.

I was wondering if anyone has used them for any of their models? they seem to have a great range of different warehouses and loading dock style buildings. They actually have a free loading dock download available online at the moment....

Lots of modelling tasks to get on with, including this one.

According to some modellers, Heljan O Gauge products are not always top draw stuff when it comes to running qualities straight out of the box.

I`m happy to report that with this, my first, Heljan RTR example, all is well.

There were a couple of loose detachments , easily remedied.....

Anyway these photos should explain better than me.
I will explain after putting up the photos why I bought them.

Now these do look the part, couple up automatically and pull apart when setting a train down. Bit of a dandy getting the MU cables in place, but being magnetic, it looks easy enough. You just don't want to drop the MU cable as you may never find it again...

Faced with poor factory service which ultimately closed down, a condensed history is that Eureka had immense difficulty in transferring the tooling over to new facilities. Finally arrived and on the layout.
