[Union Pacific]

I was starting this thread out of curiosity of what paper and cardboard items exist on people's layouts ie.buildings, rolling stock....

Concrete retaining wall, "cardboard" boxes, flags, signs, shingles. Yup, that should just about cover it.

For me:
Almost all the buildings (can list the ones that aren't cardboard).
All the backdrops.
The stone and brick retaining walls in the stations and the decorative stone.
I have some spare station platforms and platform kits if anyone wants them.
I have a small number of Peco Wonderful Wagons which are printed & embossed card sides on metal body.

All my "Cardboard" is covered by a layer of Plaster Cloth, Sculptamold, Woodland Scenics and trees.

When I get done rebuilding my layout (mostly vintage Lionel and Marx O27), the buildings will be almost entirely paper. They won't be scale models though; I'm going for a vintage toy look. I've also been known to put the occasional paper automobile on the layout too, and I have two boxcars that I made out of paper.

I'm going to use papier mache for my hill. I guess I really ought to be working on that instead of yakking on forums.

I've toyed with the idea of using two-dimensional paper cutouts for the figures but I probably won't do that. I have heard that some German collectors have done stunning layouts with them though.

one structure made of cardboard and sandpaper (stucco), a steel water tower and a wooden water tower both made from toilet paper tubes, one caredboard building under construction, and 4 cardboard ore cars under construction.

it really is an excellent (and cheap) building material.

All my retaining walls, bridge abutments are cardboard.
I used cardboard for parts of my turntable pit, sand house, ash pit and coaling tower.
There is a cardboard gondola I built sitting in the yard also.
I am considering using cardboard for fascia.

I have several cardboard buildings including this steel complex. The basic shapes are carboard covred with corrugated craft paper:

I also have a back drop building made from a commercially available paper cut out book:

Lots of cool stuff can be done with paper!
