I went to a train show recently and I think the bug has bitten me to get back into the hobby. Currently, I have no room for a layout of any size. I enjoy building and detailing rolling stock and structures and was think of constructing a small (2'x4' perhaps?) diarama. My initial idea is to construct a small car repair shop that I could (hopefully) incorporate into a larger layout someday. I have a lot of repairs (and weathering!) to do on my freight car fleet and thought this might be a fun and managable project to get back into the swing of things.
I am not really sure what materials would be best for building diarama's and would like some input from those who have done these. Also, does anyone have any ideas about kits I could use for shop buildings? I am thinking I would like to do some detailing of the interior as well and possibly include some lighting.
Any ideas and input would be more than welcome!
