Kingsway Models High Street range of card kits

The miscellaneous kits section has now been rebranded as the Kingsway High Street range. My intention is to add further kits suitable for the urban situation. The kits are half relief (they have no back) being ideally suited for use as a diorama for road vehicles or as scenery on a model railway.

The aim is to provide distinctive buildings which reflect typical British townscapes.

Burtons the tailors, Greenwich

BTG Burtons tailors, Greenwich

A distinctive art deco shop in the iconic Burtons style. This half relief model is designed for a corner site, measuring approximately 7.5" by 7.5". The building itself is about 3" deep, thus fitting neatly alongside other buildings in the range. In the picture above it is positioned next to the Odeon cinema (CWLO) and Woolworths (WWMD), and card paving has been added. Below is the model built straight from the kit.

Kingsway Models card kit Ferodo Bridge

FB Ferodo Bridge

A once  common sight in towns across the country, this Ferodo bridge can provide a period scene for use on a model railway layout or simply a diorama for 4mm scale vehicles. The kit can be constructed to make a complete single span bridge or can be built as a half relief double span. Bridge walls and piers are included, but the builder will need to provide the bridge deck (a sheet of stout card, or maybe ply or MDF if a model railway track is to be laid). The bridge spans are about 6.5". The piers allow for a deck about 6" wide.

Kingsway card paving

PAV Paving

Three sheets of card paving for use with Kingsway Models kits. This is printed on stout mounting card 1.25mm thick, equivalent to a kerb depth of nearly 4". It just needs to be cut out, have the edge darkened with a 3B pencil and stuck down on a baseboard. The kit provides over 100" of straight paving with corners as well. Each pack includes a large corner suitable for use with many of the 'corner site' buildings such as Burtons and Bounds Green station.

The Oxford Rewley Rd station of the Buckinghamshire Railway opened in 1851. The building's structure was built to the same design as that of the Crystal Palace built for the Great Exhibition the same year. Passenger services ended one hundred years later in 1951, and after fifty years of gradual decay the building was re-erected at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton Road in 2001.
