Custom work

Your building, at your scale.

A station you miss, a depot that exists in no catalogue, a catalogue piece in another scale or finish: the workshop draws it, prints it and paints it for you.

What you can ask for

  • A building dear to you

    The station of your childhood, the depot near your home, the hall of your imaginary company. Photos are enough to start; plans, if you have any, make the drawing more precise.

  • A catalogue piece, differently

    The same piece in N or O scale, a raw finish to paint yourself, painted lettering with your name, LED lighting, a base and its display case. The configurator prices all of this live.

  • A building in the spirit of a place

    No precise model, but an era, a region, an atmosphere: the workshop draws a piece that exists nowhere else, like those in the catalogue.

How it works

  1. 01

    You tell us

    An email, a WhatsApp message or a request from the configurator, with photos, a name, a scale. No specification needed.

  2. 02

    The workshop replies within 48 h

    Feasibility, price, lead time: a written quote, with what is included and what is not.

  3. 03

    You approve, the workshop makes it

    Drawing, 3D modelling, 3D printing, assembly, hand painting and weathering. Allow 1 to 6 weeks depending on the finish, stated in the quote. Progress photos on request.

  4. 04

    The piece arrives

    Padded and packed in the workshop, with its certificate of authenticity, shipped with a tracking number to France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands or Italy.

Indicative budget

In HO scale and workshop finish, catalogue prices start from €150 for the smallest pieces and from €280 for the largest. A custom building of ordinary size falls within that range; an industrial complex or a large station, above it.

Scale changes the price: about 0.7 times for N, 2.4 times for O. A raw finish, to paint yourself, costs less than half the workshop finish.

The quote is free and without commitment.

Good to know

A made-to-order piece cannot be returned once production has started, as the law provides. It remains covered by the two-year legal warranty of conformity.

Delivery and returns

Where to start?

The configurator for a catalogue piece or a quick budget; an email for everything else.
