Only a few new items coming in the 1:20.3 market place. first up from hartford products is The Frickin Machine. there are still a couple of parts to be addded to the pilot model shown. no firm price yet.
Next up Bill Banta has gone ahead and created four small stuctures for our model railroads. they start with the flagmans shanty at $95 the Blacksmith carpentry shop is $135 and the hotel is $145. i did not note the price on the water tower. he is also selling several of the accesories like the water tower ladder and the benches from the hotel porch.
Bill will be updating his website soon to reflect these additions. I picked up the Blacksmith/Carpentry shop to start with. the kit consists of laser cut masonite for the main frame and other basswood and laser cut plywood for the windows. i suspect i will keep this building indoors but will start by soaking the major components in clear polyeurthane to seal the parts. I will try to document my build in the upcoming weeks
