    I recently saw this product being used at a train show in Mississauga, Ontario, but did not get a chance to ask the gentleman where he got in. It is basically a set of rubber moulds with various building surfaces (ie brick walls, stone walls, etc.) and building details (windows, doors, chimneys). The moulds are used with plaster of paris. I vaguely recall seeing them in a hobby magazine, about 10 or 15 years ago, and I believe, based on the style of the building details, are British in origin. I am looking for somewhere I could purchase a set of these moulds. I looked through some British train magazines, but the fad over there seems to be cardboard builidings.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can probably make your own for less than you'd spend trying to find them. Most hardware stores sell RTV silicon for gaskets and such and ir's fairly east to make your own molds using this. If you check in Fine Scale Modeller magazine they usually (well, used to, back when i was still subscribing) have kits for this sort of thing advertised. The club I belong to made our own rock molds this way and they have been in use for quite a numberof years.
