Walthers Modulars
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, February 3, 2006 9:57 PM
I have been working on a distribution industry for the railroad these last few weeks using Walthers Modulars.

The number one part I used is blank walls. (The small blank wall sections) The cost of the kit parts escalated about 3 times what I orginally planned because walthers only packs 4 of these wall sections to one specific kit box with other useful parts such as windows etc.

My suggestion is that walthers pack 16 or more blank wall sections in it's own box and add it to the line up. That way I can go ahead and cut down on the expense of this building.

For me, I think the building is turning out well. But I definately will not consider another such project with such a limited number of what I consider a important peice buried with alot of others that are not fully used.

So.

A box with blank walls.

A box with just windows.

and perhaps a box that is dedicated to wall connectors (Part #25 side palisters)

The good benefit is due to the piles of extra walls and parts left over I will be able to eventually build various structures such as pump houses and what not.
