www.osbornmodelkits.com  Osborn Model Kits is Ontario based and manufacture a useful range of N Gauge aircraft (including ...a Beaver !!! and Cessna 172)  and interesting bridges, North American style buildings (some might well fit ACW) and even an N gauge hanger.

Being Canada, the scale is 1/160 as opposed to 1/148, but should be a reasonable fit on the table.

Bizarrely enough, I had a conversation with a funder today about their support for an organisation that re-introduced beavers into a part of Devon.

Poker face was firmly <ON> fortunately...but I did splutter a bit & camouflaged it with a cough  :D

I know the Canuck's mindset  - count the hits on that website.   Bet the guy that devised it was a Newfy .  Go on ask what is a Newfy?
