Good morning from an Italian model railroader.
In a book written in the 80s by Clive Lamming ("Modélisme et trains"), there are two chapters dedicated to two layouts. In both of them there's a factory/warehouse/workshop and the author wrote that in these layouts the industrial buildings were modified kits by Heljan. I've checked Heljan's website, but unfortunately I couldn't find the item I'm looking for (I guess it's not anymore in stock).
Since I really would like to find this building, for example using ebay, I'm asking for your help, since maybe someone here has an old catalogue of Heljan: can you tell me the number of the article (or of the articles) and the description (ex. "Satellite Radio Station")? I add some pictures of this building, hoping that someone will be able to recognize it.
Thanks in advance... and greetings.

Yes, great! it is the item I'm looking for but... unfortunately it's in N-scale. In the articles I saw the kit has been built in a different way.
Thank you, anyway now I've something to look for...

Thank everyone. I've found the item in many sites and in the Heljan's N catalogue.
I've found the box on ebay, and on it you can read that "the building can be used in both N and H0 scale".
Actually I don't what to do (it's not expensive, probably I'll buy it, even if I won't use it). Anyway, I really want to thank everyone of yours for the help. In few minutes I got all the answers I wanted.

P.S. Heljan wrote me "sorry, but we are unable to help you". :roll: :roll: :roll:

The reason for heljan writes to both N and HO is because they do almost all their buildings in 1 / 100 size
But if it is cheap you should buy and build it, perhaps it is not so small anyway

Since I was looking for a Danish item, I thought "maybe I could find an answer in a Danish forum".
The first step has been to translate the term "railway modelling" from English to Danish. Then I've looked with google for "forum" and "Modeltog". I've found a site with many links, the first one was this site.
I've tried to find the voice for "registering", and so I've been able to post my first message...
Bye, Gianfranco

Actually I’ve got that particular model, but I do not know whether it is in scale H0 or N. There isn’t any numbers or identification on the model. The size of the factory is 40 x 20 cm.
I’ve taken a photo next to a H0 model that should give you an idea of the building (sorry that the photo is a bit tilted).

I really would like to shake my hand with all of yours, for your precious help. Few minutes ago (I was lucky, within a quarter of hour I've to go to work) I've received from Heljan the brewery I was looking for. Without your contribute I don't think I would have been able to find it in the N-stock of this company. I simply can tell you a word: tak!
