Has anyone any experience in (a) ordering and (b) making any of these models as per the link below? Some of them look distinctively ripe for painting/staining and detailing - ther country stations and the fortified bridge are particularly interesting. Presumably weatherproofed by a coat of Cuprinol 5 star or similar.

The country station looks identical to one I built a few years ago.
It was definitely not G Scale but much smaller.
 
Their Aedes Ars kits look good but again I don't see any indication of scale.
 
Looking at the dimensions given, the Aedes stuff looks to be about half the size of what I might expect ,say the POLA equivalent to be, so I guess there is a serious scale problem - a pity.

In that case it is only suitable for using "in the distance" well away from the track.
 
Rik - I'd also been eyeing up Holzmodellbausatz* (on the assumption, like you that dousing in Cuprinol and staining where appropriate would do the trick) but I couldn't get their catalogue webpage to link through to their online shop (I just got a blank page when clicking on "add to basket") - maybe this is a problem with using Opera as a browser; I've found several webshops won't recognise it.

* I'd been more than tempted by their Swiss stations but |'d intended to start experimentally with a couple of their barns to see how they fitted together before splashing out £200+...

Just tried the site with Firefox and and it allowed me to add to basket - mind you it then added 22 Euros for postage on top of the 5 Euro cost of the catalogue
