Peco LK-208 Victorian Terraced Houses Lineside Laser Cut Kit

Scale(s): 1:76 Scale, OO Scale
GM Part Number: PELK-208

Model Overview:
The Peco LK-208 kit is a laser-cut model of a complete Victorian terraced house, designed to be used in model railway layouts, particularly in the backscene or along the sides of tracks. These houses are designed in a typical Victorian style, and as with the other products in Peco’s range, they replicate the architecture found in towns and cities across the UK.

The kit features excellent detailing of brickwork, roofing, windows, and other elements, making it a great option for modellers who want to build realistic Victorian housing areas.

Key Features:

• Victorian Design: This model represents a typical Victorian terrace house, a very familiar building style found across the UK.
• Laser-Cut Detailing: The laser-cut process provides sharp detailing, capturing textures of brick courses, slate tiles, window frames, and doors.
• Customisable Appearance: The model requires painting, which allows modellers to personalise each house. This is especially important when building terraced houses, as no two houses are ever identical.
• Optional Features: Like the previous kits in the series, this model includes additional details such as bay windows, dormers (from the house backs kit), and optional pavement around the base.
• Full House Design: Unlike the previous kits which focus on just the fronts or backs of houses, the LK-208 kit provides the full house design, making it a complete model for use in a railway scene.
