What makes our train portals special is that they always start with an authentic hand-crafted model. Each design is first carefully sculpted in clay. Using small spatulas and fine tools, every brick is carved by hand, joints are added, and textures are shaped. This gives the model a realistic and artisanal character that digital techniques can never fully capture.
Once the clay model is complete, we create a mold. This is a crucial step: the mold preserves every texture, every stone, and every tiny detail. It ensures that the unique handwork remains intact, while also making the model reproducible.
From this mold we then cast the final portals in a nearly unbreakable resin. This material is strong, durable, and perfectly suited for intensive use on model railroads. It combines the strength of modern materials with the charm of authentic craftsmanship.
The result is a train portal that is not only sturdy and long-lasting, but also carries the look and soul of true handwork. For us, that’s the perfect balance: a product built to last for years, while keeping the unique spirit of a hand-made original.
