I've been tempted by these as well, but haven't given one a shot.

The general lack of description keeps me from biting.

RDA

I have a couple of them, although I haven't assembled them yet, they look pretty good.  Good stone detail.

Dave, could you provide a

Dave, could you provide a little more detail about the kits?

Which do you have, what is included, windows, doors molded in or separate?

Any type of separate detail included that make these a $35 kit instead of a DPM - type $22 kit? In the pictures you see downspouts, chimneys, ventilators, separate steps and loading docks, etc. Nothing in the descriptions about them, if they are included or not.

Who actually manufactures them? Are they really injection molded or are they poured resin?

Yes, I could just ask the seller, but I feel if they want to sell them they could do a better job.

I'd appreciate your time for input, thanks.

They are made by Railway Design Associates

I believe I saw one featured in a recent issue of a mainstream model magazine.  It may have been slightly altered for the author's requirements.  As I remember it, it was beautiful -- especially because it was emplaced in scenery with elevation changes.  Ideal for New England, MA, PA, etc.  I have no personal experience with this kit.

I have a couple that I bought

I have a couple that I bought on Ebay. One kit was missing some parts. I contacted them and they were extremely nice to deal with. No problem at all.

I've read good and bad things about the kits. I built one. The detail is very good. The instructions could be a little better, but the kits aren't that hard to figure out. The kits do take a little bit of work to get them to fit together right. Nothing major, just a bit of sanding and filling. A few of the window openings needed some attention to get them to fit right. One wall section didn't line up quite right and I had to trim a little off the bottom. The next one that I build I'm going to try and miter the corners to make it easier to hide the seam.

Over all I think they're really nice kits for the price. They also seem like they would be good for a kit bash to create a totally unique structure.

Here's a link to the one I built. http://public.fotki.com/daveinthehat/davetown/dave-craft-boats/

I have a couple of these

I have a couple of these too.  The brick arch over the windows does not look good.  These are made of plastic and the end seams are hard to hide, as said, mitering would hide the seam. 

RDA Kits

I have put several of their older kits together in the past. Very nice kits and especially for the price. The stonework is really nicely done for injection molding.

Ditto on the stonework

The stonework seems to be better than the brickwork.  I nabbed a few of these for a great price about 10 years ago and have kitbashed them into some more complex structures than the basic iterations as-built.  The brick arches are indeed very heavy, and the courses don't always line up at the joints so mitering may or may not solve the problem...but will certainly improve the look by a wide margin, imo.
