I recently acquired a dual pit stop structure that is in pieces, but fairly complete. I have always liked the look and layout of the item, but as you all know, finding them is difficult and they go for astronomical prices on E-bay when they do come up. Since mine is dissasembled, I was wondering if I could make molds of the base plate, 2 side walls, back wall, center divider, and roof to create my dream of having another 5 or so of these garages for my future layout. I have never cast anything in my life, am a total chemistry novice, and don't even know if it is possible to do what I want to do. Any thoughts?
On a side note, I wonder how come no one has ever re-produced these and the Revamatic bleachers/grandstands? Seems like a sure moneymaker, as these items seem to be in demand and are very useful for layouts. Even if you just made the grandstands static without the useless sound board, it still seems like these would be snapped up by guys like me looking to add realism to their tracks. I seem to recall that years ago Model Motoring was supposed to follow up on their curved bleachers with the dual pit stop, but I guess it fell through. Bummer.
