Constructing Buildings for Model Railways
Build convincing railway buildings, from your first paper or card kit to more advanced scratchbuilt projects.
By David Ashwood with Market Deeping MRC
ABOUT THE BOOK
Ideas to take back
to the workbench.
Move beyond a train set towards a railway with its own character. This practical book explores how buildings help fill the architectural gaps in a model landscape, with a step-by-step, illustrated approach to planning and construction.
Projects range from paper and card kits to more advanced scratchbuilding. Drawing on the club’s rebuilding experience after the May 2019 exhibition vandalism, the book includes miniature cinema sets, a London terminus and repairs to damaged scenery.
Who is it for?
Modellers who want to develop their scenery and building skills, whether they are starting with kits or ready to try more ambitious scratchbuilt work.
