TThe N Scale Architect was founded in 1991 by Russ Kaufman who has been active in N-Scale model railroading since the early 1970's. Russ started The N Scale Architect based on the encouragement of fellow modelers who thought that the scratch building plans that he had drawn up might be enjoyed by others in kit form. In the early 2000's, the N Scale Architect expanded their laser-cut kit line into
HO and Z scales with the addition of "Heritage Models" (HO) and "Nansen Street Models" (Z). These product lines not only include laser-cut structures but also detail castings and cast resin kits. Further expansion included the addition of styrene building sheets known as the "Model Builder's Supply Line". This line now features over 65 different patterns in Z, N, HO, O, G and 1/12th scales as well as nearly two dozen different styles of finely etched fencing in N & Z Scales. Most recently, the N Scale Architect has acquired the former ‘Shire Scenes’ range of N & Z photo-etched vehicle and scenic detailing kits, This acquisition added over 50 new items to the “Making-A-Scene-Etched” product line.
