kits shown are no longer available )

DSL Shops was a kit business that I ran for 26 years making S and O scale fronts, reliefs and full buildings . The kits were basically urethane castings plus styrene and other parts. The masters were all hand made, before 3D printers and laser cutters.
Many thanks to all my customers and dealers.
