Metcalfe Brewery card kit, n gauge model railway kit review

Metcalf card kits for model railways -
Here's a review of the Metcalfe Brewery kit. I found it easy to make the buildings and you can arrange them in a number of configurations. Watch the video to see it come together in a stop frame animation...took me ages to do!.

I'm getting ready to buy one of these and the stop animation was super helpful! I've never done a kit before, so it was very useful! Thanks for another great video!

Love how the pieces fly together

Possibly the most informative video I've seen on building the Metcalfe kits, I wasn't too sure if I was going to buy any, but having seen this I most definitely will. Thanks Simon, the extra time spent on doing the stop animation is appreciated

[@SimonsShed]

+Paul Dovener Thanks Paul, they are good kits and yes, the stop animation did take a while!

Hi Simon Great video I used one of these kits as a base for a whisky distillery around a canal basin

[@stewartd4435]

Nice work Simon, I am after one of these kits as I believe the Brewery has just been discontinued. If you shade the white stripes on the corners with color pencils they will disappear. If you have no colors even a soft led pencil will work you would be surprised at the difference it makes.

[@SimonsShed]

Thanks, looks like the animations are popular, I'll have to find a way to incorporate them in my other videos!

I love putting these excellent kits together and find them very easy to do . Metcalfe are very generous with extra bits like doors and windows . Next best thing to good scratch building in much less time .

Nice vid. Brewery looks great too big for my layout at the moment think the metcalfe kit are great for the money and good fun to build.

[@SimonsShed]

thanks, after trying 50 different combinations I think I've finally figured out how to arrange the brewery buildings to look their best and so stuff could be dropped off/picked up via rail / road!

Stop motion! Awesome! Nice work.

Nice review Simon, Metcalfe kits are easy to build and really look the part, I have built lots of them and have yet to be disappointed.

[@SimonsShed]

Thanks, it is fun doing the stop frame animations but they dont half take a long time!

[@peterharman8466]

Great photography benny hill would be very proud I have the oo version really good thanks for sharing :)

[@afreya128]

Love the vid. Wish I could get my kits to build themselves like that!!

[@SimonsShed]

Yep, like it, just need to figure out the best way to arrange the buildings.

[@SimonsShed]

At the moment I can't check (on hols in France!) I can only say that I picked it from the list of sounds in the latest version of iMovie, I'll try and find the name of the track when I get back if that helps.

[@TINSLEYtraction]

its a great kit,i wish i had space for this on my layout,it will look great on yours.

[@foxcell]

[@slwilliams75]

Loved the disappearing bar of chocolate

[@SimonsShed]

Thanks, just needs some beer barrels and a delivery truck to go with the brewery theme now.

Hi! Really nice kit! BTW, can you tell me who is performing the music on this??!! As a musician, I'd love to find this recording!

[@davewells9242]

Recently bought an OO version of this. Have never made a card kit before and was wondering what glue did you use or what you would recommend.

[@SimonsShed]

At the moment I tend to use Rocket Card Glue by Deluxe Materials. It gives you a minute or so to line things up and then sets nice and firm 👍

[@steburge1]

Great kit I have in oo

[@howarth004]

nice kit I have it in 00

[@SimonsShed]

Thanks. Ha ha yes, I'd be prepared to pay a bit more for a self assembling kit!
