I have searched high and low, and failed miserably. I then took the DIY route. The problem for the manufacturers is production cost. Although we may be mad about 1/16 scale, it has nothing like the customer base of OO train kit, for which you can buy absolutely anything and everything.

As I have learnt, a small 1/16 scale bridge is enormous, and a meaningful battlefield would take up half my garden with houses, bunkers etc. It's a tough one.
