About Fos Scale Models

Fos Scale Models has been producing craftsman model railroad structure kits since 2002, beginning with the release of Big Lou’s Grill — designed and manufactured in a small apartment kitchen in New York City.

From the start, our goal has been to create original, uncommon designs rooted in history and architectural character. Our kits feature precision laser-cut parts produced in-house, custom metal cast detail parts, select plastic components from Tichy, and fine wood from Northeastern Scale Lumber.

Fos Scale Models is owned and operated by Doug Foscale, who grew up in New York City and studied art, architecture, and graphic design. Today, Doug lives in Southeastern Connecticut alongside a small herd of horses, sheep, goats — and Diesel, the official Fos Scale Models mini-donkey mascot.

Our studio is located in Southeastern Connecticut, where we also host occasional workshops focused on model building, weathering, and detailing techniques.
