My name is Jim. Having recently retired, I'm finally finding time to pursue some long-lost hobbies. My primary interest is in model railroads, but more from a diorama side than operations. That leaves the big question of what one does with a layout after it's finished if one isn't interested in operations. Of course, everyone knows there is no such thing as a completed railroad layout.

Not yet. I'm shifting gears and cleaning my office/workspace from my old marine service company. My first project will be a pretty simple diorama based on a scene from a video from a channel I follow. Just a small workshed in a field by a path in Sweden. It should be a good project to get my feet wet again.

Welcome to Zealot!

There are a lot of forums and websites that offer houses, buildings, and other buildings you can scale and use for your diorama. They are made of paper, but the potential to accessorize (we call it "greebling") these models to make them look more than flat boxes with graphics is up to your desire.


This is one is one site, there are more, search under Google Images for paper house templates.:

Welcome aboard, like you I'm interested in the modelling side of building a layout rather than the actual subject matter.

Never had any time or space for a setup, but I am helping a friend build his dream layout... look forward to seeing your progress when you do indeed get your feet wet.
