We couldn't have said it better! They also sell pre-printed brick and paving sheets, glue applicators, low relief buildings, domestic and industrial / railway buidings and they really are good fun to put together. The only problem with their popularity is that everyone is likely to have at least one (or more!) of their kits, but with a little time and effort, it is entirely possible to disguise them.
Available from your local stockist, shows or online.

Minerva Model Railways launched in the spring of 2015 with its acclaimed 0 gauge RTR Peckett E Class 0-4-0 saddle-tank locomotive. The company was formed by Chris Basten of Dragon Models and Chris Klein of Ixion, both experienced businessmen and model railway enthusiasts, who were frustrated with the long delays between announcements of new models and subsequent delivery.
We speak from personal knowledge of these products in that they are good, sturdy models at a sensible price and cannot recommend them enough.
