RDA Easton Mills Kit

I read on the website that the founder and creator died in 2006 but his wife and two sons were still making a go of it but they may have quit at some point along the line, presumably around 2012.

That's too bad...  When I was in HO I built some of their stuff.  They were not the best-fitting kits out there but they had some very nice Eastern prototypes.

Dave. Was your kit pretty much the same as mine?  It seemed like it was someones resin copy of an old kit. The RDA stuff I have (HO) is all injection molded.

Someone else knew the owner and said all the tooling was cut in house. The detail wasn't bad, but just like this kit their windows often need replaced.

Nah, this was original kit material in an original RDA box.  Just missing parts.

Pretty sure they're out of the game.  Once upon a time they actually did do N scale (the existence of my kit seems to confirm this).

I know of two kits they did, the mill and a DL&W station kit.

Sure wished they would do their line in N scale. I would buy every one of them!!! Especially their Vermont Station.
