Random modelling supplies... buying in bulk.



I picked up this huge lot of secondhand evergreen styrene and DPM parts on ebay, loads of useful plasticard and detail parts including a few sets of Walthers passenger car trucks, some microsol and enough DPM pieces to make four small warehouse buildings.

I've been bidding on a few job lots recently as it's probably the most economic way to pick up models and parts, especially if there are parts of the job-lot that can be sold on individually.

The DPM parts will most likely be used on my next freemo module for the club layout as they would fill out an industrial area nicely and the lot included some Kibri cobblestones with embedded rail line which would be perfect for an overgrown streetcar line or disused industrial spur.
