Scratchbuilt

made from spare parts...even a wall from a roundhouse!

double the size!

Insted of buying 2 walthers northern power, I connected both wall sections and used blank styrene for the back wall. I had alot of trouble doing the roof though. Size was bigger than standard styrene. Hopefully painting it black took focus away from it. chalk weathering.

making it up...

as I go along. DPM Goodnight mattress redisgned, extended, now Heinz. Looks 0% like prototype, yet works for me.

Unusual scratchbuilding idea.

This N scale scrap building is made from the roof vents of an HO walthers rolling mill and some scrap styrene. sorry bad pic.

Nicely done!:thumb:

I like the way you "kitbash" to get the desired result. Very nice

How can you say that? With about one gazillion different buildings in this world, I don't care what you kitbash, it will always look prototypical And remember, if after you've looked at them all and you don't find a building it could look like, there are always other worlds out there.

I vote that these are good looking buildings and could easily be 100% protoypical. I like you ideas too...

Nice pictures. I particularly like the way you are modeling the landscape in the third picture. It provides a good setting for trains. It seems that the goal of many model railroaders is to fill all the empty space on their layout with track. :thumb: :thumb:

I also have that Norther Pwer & Light kit, but it's still in the box...I'd like to do something with it similar to what you've done...
Keep the pics coming!
