Worsley specialize in what they describe as 'scratch aid' kits. By manufacturing only the etched brass or nickle silver components of the models they are able to produce a very wide range of kits in many scales even when demand is very low. This is hard to do with resin or plastic models where the master costs are extremely high. Assembly of Worsley Works kits, like most purely etched kits, is,challenging and requires the modeller source other components or use fillers and their own skills to build awkward areas that are hard to fabricate in etched brass. In part as a result of the diffiiculty of building such kits other small manufacturers produce resin extras such as curved roofs specifically to make building the Worsley Works models easier. Worsley Works are well known in the fine scale modelling world as well as in the less popular scales. They are one of the few sources for British HO Scale and for some of the more unusual scales such as 3 mm scale and their range expands regularly as customers pay for new etches to be designed to meet gaps in the market. Constructed Worsley works models command high prices due to both the quality of the etches and the difficulty of their assembly. EXTERNAL LINKS
