The Catalog

August 2025 Update! Many new structures have been added.
These are identified as "New" instead of by an item number.

YES! WE ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS!

  • Models are unique: Many of the structures as pictured below have been sold, but I can usually build "copies" that are quite similar. Foot print size and other characteristics can be adjusted to your specifications.
     
  • Production Time: is normally about 30 days unless I am seriously backlogged. These pages will be updated with new models currently in production, and those that are built and ready for immediate pickup or delivery.
     
  • Pricing: Logically, O scale would be twice the price of HO, but in reality, the time to build in either scale is the same. The real difference is cost of materials and in some cases items such as window and door castings must be built from scratch if not commercially available in scale of your choice.

    If model you want is not shown in a diorama, add $100 if you want a diorama setting.

    If model you want is shown in a diorama, but you want just the structure, subtract $100.

    Pricing is subject to change based on availability and my cost of materials and components. 
     
  • Payment: Cash, check, credit card. Lay away available.
  • Scale: I do not build in N or G scales, but S scale is doable. Pricing will depend on availability and cost of commercial castings or similar details. In some cases, scratch built parts may be required.
     
  • Weathering: Type and intensity to your preference.
     
  • Lights: Most buildings are lighted - check the descriptions below. If lights are not included, I can add them for an additional $50.
     
  • Installation/Delivery: Within a reasonable distance of Columbia. MD, and for a reasonable fee, I will gladly install your structure on your layout. Otherwise, I can "walk you through" the process for a self-installation.

    I will deliver (for free!) your structure to you within a 50 mile radius of Columbia.

    Please contact me to discuss alternative delivery methods.
     
  • Orders and Questions: Contact me to place your order, work out the specific details of your project, and discuss any other particulars relative to your model or project.
     
  • Reach me: By phone at 410-730-1036 or email  hzane1@verizon.net.
Builder's Plate: Your structure model comes with my engraved brass Builder's Plate which attests to the authenticity and provenance of the model, and serves as my expression of gratitude for your confidence in me.
