Large Scale Modelers' Input Needed!

[CCSII]

Rags to Riches has some great looking smaller scale buildings, go take a look at them (site address below.) Now they are thinking of expanding to 1:20.3 and want our input.

From the Rags to Riches site:

Something new we will be working on soon is an F-scale kit. We were approached to produce the Ouray Depot (finished size: 25 x 51-inches), which wouldn't be a problem, but Lori believes a smaller project would be wiser to tackle for our first F-scale offering. We'd appreciate knowing your thoughts on the matter.

...

As you've probably surmised, the exact order of what's going to be produced always depends on the amount of input we receive....let's hear from you!

Just my thoughts -

25" x 51" is a pretty big depot and takes up a big chunk of real estate. I don't know many guys who are modeling Fn3, let alone have the space needed (3' x 5')  for a depot that big. I am working on a "big" depot for my main town and its only 18" x 28" (yet much larger than most commercially available buildings). You have to leave some room for a water tank, etc. Our club has one of the big Garden Textures stations and we only pull that out for the big set ups. I think Lori is right in first offerring something a bit smaller.

I replied over on MLS as well but as I said there, 25 x 51 is huge, maybe something closer to 18 x 24 would be a better offering for the first time out.

And everything is bigger in Texas, right?

Nope, never seen anything like it. Ain't seen nothing BIG in Tx.

Two fellows, one from Texas and one from Kentucky, were seated next to each other on a plane. The Texan was bragging up a blue streak about how great and big and rich Texas is. Finally the Kentuckian had had enough and said,  "you know, we have Fort Knox in Kentucky and we have enough gold bricks there to build a wall three feet high all the way around Texas". The Texan thought a little while and said "O.K., ya'll go ahead and build it and if we like it, we'll buy it from you"

Hi ccsII

Erhm what did you say this new factory was going to make thats the sort of space I would put an industry on.

I would much prefer an awfully lot  smaller depot to that preferably something that has a train order board that can be made to work sort of, slightly rustic as well as not made by anyone else.

Sure isn't much of a selection for large scale.

Remind me again, what "scale" is F scale??

 

And why again doesn't any one make 1:29th scale?

"F" is 1:20.3

Everyone is waiting on you to become the 1:29 building supplier
