FAQs
What scale is this chimney stack kit?
This kit is designed for N gauge model railways.
Does this kit come pre-colored?
Yes, the kit features a pre-weathered stone effect printed directly onto the cardstock.
What adhesive should I use?
It is recommended to use a good quality hobby craft glue suitable for cardstock. PVA glue or a specialist model-making adhesive will work well.
Can I paint or weather this model further?
While the model comes pre-weathered, you can add further weathering effects using chalk pastels, powders, or model paints to enhance its realism or match your specific layout's environment.
How tall is the chimney stack?
The chimney stack has a height of 188mm.
Can this kit be combined with other brands?
While designed to match Metcalfe's Old Mill Stone range, it can be incorporated into layouts with other N gauge structures. However, the aesthetic and scale compatibility should be considered.
Is this a ready-to-use model?
No, this is a card kit that requires assembly and gluing.
Troubleshooting
Parts do not align correctly
Ensure precise cutting of all components and check that folds are made accurately before gluing. Minor adjustments may be needed based on printing variations.
Glue marks are visible
Use a minimal amount of adhesive and apply it carefully to the designated tabs. For visible marks, a small amount of matching paint or weathering powder can sometimes conceal them once dry.
Kit appears flimsy after assembly
Ensure all internal tabs and supports are glued securely. Consider reinforcing key structural areas with thin cardstock or appropriate model-making glue if extra rigidity is desired.
