Simple Structures for Model Railways Pt 2
MAKING SIMPLE CUT OUT BUILDINGS Page 2
BIGGER STATION BUILDING
Align the marker at the top of the drawing with the ruler. Hold your SHIFT key down scale the line so that it is 21mm between the vertical markers in HO , 12mm in N scale, 24mm in OO scale and 42mm in O scale.
To make your own station label, use a white print with text and over print the box with "Reginald Bridge" on it then move it to the centre of the face of the Station name! I used simple black cardboard for the roof!
Make your roof from scrap card. You can place masking tape over the roofing to represent tar paper/malthoid and try your hand at making a staircase.
Note how the building is sitting on the layout and the simple foam core construction... many of these buildings were built within an hour at a maximum cost of a couple of dollars each... and they look photo real from normal viewing distance.
