Hi again guys,

We have made some progress since I last posted, and the inventory and molds are now in OH. In G scale we have several kits that are complete in finished goods, and will be available for sale in the next few weeks on our web site. We additionally seem to have a nice stock of injection molded parts, so we expect to be able to continue to make those kits available, and perhaps expanded them as there seems to have been several configurations of the houses that could be offered. In addition to the parts stock we have the molds so we expect we can make more parts when needed if there is demand. The injection molded kits we have so far are as follows.
573 Centerviille Station
575 trolly stop, coverd platfrom
576 Aunt Berthas
581 Elmer Station
600 Benches (2)

We additionally have some of the poured urethane models available, these too will be for sale on our web site shortly. There is limited stock of these, however we have the molds, and if there is demand we could make more, however this process (pouring molds) is also the process for much of the O scale items, so we will have some contention for time to make them such that it will take a while before we can get more of the poured models available. The ones we will have available shortly will be.

568 Diesel Shed
559 Speeder Shed
560 Red Barn

We additionally have some other poured molds in both complete and partial status. We have more work to do to understand what is there. We also have some parts that we could make available if you think there is a need. These include windows and such that could be used for kit bashing and scratch building if you all see a need.

We have posted some of the G Scale benches on ebay , search for Korber Models and you can see them. We can ship those now if anyone needs them.

Thanks for the time, we will try to provide updates as we get them.

If you are looking for something special, you can contact em via the web site.

Best regards

Rich Redmond

It is good news, but also disapointing.
None of the larger kits, like the engine house, are listed.
Centerville Station is, more or less, Aunt Bertha’s with a bump out and covered platform.

Steve, thanks for the post!

We have turned on the web store at www.korbermodels.com and the above listed items, with pictures and descriptions are posted. Ralph , the desil shed is a 2 tall engine house and is pretty large, maybe it will work or you.

Please let me know you thoughts, I model in o myself, so can use some coaching in your scale.

Best regards

Welcome Rich,
I saw that you have the engine house available. That’s very cool. I will purchase one if it’s still available in a month or so.
I have to budget and save my pennies for that one :wink:

Meanwhile, I’m going to make a smaller purchase today.
I’m really happy to see Korber Models available again. They are the only plastic kits I have that have stood up to the elements outdoors.
Ralph

PS:Build that roundhouse in G-scale and I promise I’ll buy one :wink: We could also use some industrial buildings :slight_smile:

Rich glad to see you up and running. I plan on getting the small station. Would love .to see some backwoods/logging structures.

#12

Nice looking stuff. I could use that small station too :slight_smile:

I think it would make a nice backwoods stations for my layout. Cant beat the price.

I placed an order online with Korber Sunday.
It arrived today, Wednesday.
I’m very pleased with the quick shipping.
If you’ve never owned a Korber kit before, they are very heavy duty. Very thick walls and roofs. No worries about warping.

Ralph, I am like you. I was disappointed in the list from Korber. I completed the survey by them by asking for large factories like the ones in O scale. Maybe there will be some someday.

Ron, This is what's in the inventory that was purchased. I believe they have not started production yet. We'll have to wait and see. I was happy to see the engine house is available. I hope it is still available a month from now ;) Ralph

I just remember the Korber stuff as being the small buildings in the plastic bag… i have a couple

I ordered their “G” - Clearville Depot (#573) last week and was told it would be mailed to the UK last Monday.
I have queried this morning IF has been sent.
I’ll let you know if/when it arrives.

I must say that I ordered in the last month two lots of stuff from STONEWORKS and was amazed at the speed I had the orders. Nice efficient people to deal with.

#19

Ref my earler post above re KORBER.
The depot kit has been mailed and on the way…so they are up and running albeit in a small way.
Looking forward to when they really get going.

Hi guys, thanks for the nice comments and order.

In the past few years, it seems the Korber product line was mostly focused on O scale, partly because they were owned by a O scale focused hobby shop. The G products were not marketed or any R&D. Our approach is to first market what we have, some great models in HO, O and of course G. Next, we will produce many of the models that have been out of production for some time. We plan to add some new structures to each of the scales next.

It will take some time to get everything where we want, so we appreciate both you patience and support, thank you!

Thank you all for the input on the survey, this will drive the new products. If you have specific structures, photos of models in other scales that you would like to see, please drop us an email .

Thank you again, we look forward to your thoughts and feedback.

Rich
