Located inside the Young Building, The N Scale Architect offers a wide range of craftsman kits, detail parts, and building materials.  Despite the name, The N Scale Architect offers more than N scale products.  In fact, the O scale model of the Young Building I have been working on for the Tribute to Springfield layout is using three different O scale sheet products for the walls - the brick sheet, concrete block sheet, and decorative block sheet.

Started in 1991 by Russ Kaufman, the company originally focused on selling N scale craftsman kits.  By the early 2000s, the product line was expanded to included HO and Z scale kits.  Today, the company offers a wide range of building kits plus building sheet material and detail parts.  The newest product lines include etched brass detail parts as well as "Trackside Series" kits which are a complete mini-scene for a layout.
