Hi James,
One of my sons is in the middle of GCSEs too, so I'm more than happy to fill in your survey.
1. Late 1950s- early 1960s.
2. Urban.
3. Industrial buildings - warehouses, factories etc. Low-relief to go at back of a layout.
4. OO.
5. It really depends on the quality for me. If it's perfect for my layout, up to £20- £30.
Generally though, as railway modelling is a hobby, most modellers are looking for low- cost accesories.
6. I'll visit any within an hour of my home when work permits. York is my favourite.
7. Quality and suitability for my layout - I'm fairly experienced at kit and scratch
building, so ease of construction isn't really an issue for me. May well be an issue if
you want to sell a lot of models though.
8. Not suitable for my layout. Doesn't look right.
9. I am happy with card (check out Metcalfe Models), plastic (Ratio/Wills) and would
also consider etched brass.
Good luck with your project. If you need any more help, just ask. I'm sure there will be many helpful folk on this forum.
