An American site but they have somer really good gear for scratch building and kit bashing. The poles with wheel look superb and for me at least with the AU$ being in a good position they make the stuff sensibley priced ie mailto:AU@9.80 < Link To AU$9.80 for 5 overhead frogs and a crossing....
Postage as always is the real killer.....

But in your profile you leave us to guess where you are from. I take it that it is the great Downunder?

perhaps a strongly worded complaint?:rofl:
the ones this crowd advertise are castings ( the frogs)....
they also have nicklesilver wire for overhead BUT from what I read NS is not that good as an electrical conductor but it stays cleaner longer.....

This site is very, very similar to the UK one (except he doesn't have a website:rofl:) I mentioned - even down to conversions!

But I had a look when I saw your posting (it was nearly six years ago since I scrolled through their pages) and it is highly desirable stuff! I rather fancy the Bachmann J & S Coach conversion which I have been toying with,
