I came upon this company richwhitemodels.com they have some nice buildings in O scale. Has anyone dealt with them before and can provide their input on the kits and service.
Thanks, Nader

I have a number of these kits. They are very nice kits - the hydrocal castings are very, very good. The only hydrocal brick and stone wall castings that I know of that are really better are Tom Yorke's... and he is the true master of the plaster medium. The owner - Rich White himself, I presume - is very easy to deal with. You need to send him a check or MO including what he lists for shipping. I would say that, price-wise, these kits really cannot be beat. The pictures on his web site are very high resolution, so you can readily see the casting quality in them. The models shown are not pilot models, they are made up from the regular castings.

I have the Post office and it's still on the shelf in kit form so I don't really have any pics to offer.

Unfortunately, it looks like his site is down. Too bad, he made some nice kits. Maybe he's still in business but changed his web site. Hopefully someone that knows will let us know.
