Structure Kit evaluation
Posted by tomgb on Monday, March 20, 2006 6:41 PM
I have a question regarding anyone's experience with structures - kit and/or pre-assembled - by D & G Depot. I have searched the forums what I think is extensively for a review of their products, but it's always possible I just didn't choose the right combination of search words to get a hit. Since these products are not inexpensive, I would prefer to hear what someone who has built or bought assembled might think of the quality and ease of construction.

I am not new to the hobby, having been an N-scaler for several years and I actually had an article in "N-Scale" magazine in 1993. I also started working with G some time after and since a recent home move, now work with it exclusively and presently have a medium sized layout under 3 rooms of my house which is built on a slope too steep to find enough flat land outdoors (and under constantantly shedding redwood trees). Most of my "dirt" rooms (not an official basement) have decent headroom since I modified the ground underneath a bit .

I am aware there are lots of structure kit providers and know about doing-it-yourself and kitbashing but there are a couple of the D&G folks models that currently intrigue me and i would like to know more about their products. If this subject has been previously covered, please forgive my redundant request. However, I did make a good faith effort to "search the forums" before posting.

Thanks, Tom B
