Can be downloaded for free, nothing, no charge, etc.  The industry name is my creation. |

That's a good 'un Sol. Could find a place on a lot of layouts.

That looks excellent Sol - and for free it's amazing although I'm sure much of it is in the hands of the builder.  Before I can use Scalescenes I'll have to buy a new printer. Mine (a Lexmark X75 all-in-one) makes a real pigs ear of anything like that. The colours are way out.  ____________________ 'Petermac |

Peter, over here, we can obtain colour printers which copy & scan for less than the price of a locomotive - some as low as 35-40 quid. Bob, on my previous layout, Iva Brick & Son fitted in , I had plenty of room for private sidings, etc, in fact my small terminal of Watchit ( this one was just before Iva Brick was built)  I ended up with 8 different places top drop/pick up wagons & with 3 other larger stations, I had many more places. Unfortunately, this new layout, while it has more roundy-roundy running, has less stations, so less places to drop/pickup. Even last night at a "play"session with some friends, it was noted that perhaps I should have not only remained with the previous incarnation but the one before that - East Coast North American & there was someting to be said about time in my hobby life. Ah well, we live & learn! |

Nice building, Ron, but is it gratis ? Can you please tell me exactly what it's printed onto? Scalescenes mention printing straight onto card. Is that what you did, and where did you get the card, please? No-one around here seems to have anything suitable. Mike edit: it's ok I just read your other Scalescenes thread. Cereal box card eh? I've used that in the past as well, but I hate having to cut things out twice. That's one of the reasons I haven't built much in this way. |

Gratis for the file that is downloaded, but it cost us paper ,ink & card, You possibly could print some of it on thin card but most relies on glueing it to card upto 2mm thick. Usually art shops have all thickness of card. | |||||||||

When I was in the UK I bought all my quality card from the local printers.

That's interesting Bob - pretty cheap compared with the local art shop I'd imagine. Here, I have to drive 2 hours to find a decent source and even then, the thickness or grade I want isn't in stock !!! ____________________ 'Petermac |

Much cheaper but of course it did come in big sheets, as it does here in Benidorm. If you only need a small amount then an art shop or photographers might be better. The bigger branches of Smith's in the UK also sell card.

Another one of the freebies. Built by many I think All the bits glued to card & cut out & the paper parts to be wrapped & glued.  It won't be used as a Goods but Railway Stores shed. Now to start putting it together. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

I guess that's the beauty of them. You can add bits where you want.

Nearly finished Instead of the panel roofing, I used corrugated iron & also fitted my style of Gutters similar to the Goods Shed I built for Watchit - 2 thin pieces of card glued to make a right angle  Door handle is a Peco track pin cut & shaped.  Downpipes are being made & will be installed when this shed is located at Charde. It will probably take me as long to site the shed & ground terrain as it took to build it. The other side will be against the run-around loop to allow odd vans, etc to unload direct into the railway stores shed. ____________________ Ron NCE DCC ; 00 scale UK outline. |

That looks excellent Sol. Looking at the slope on the ramp, I'd say it needed to be twice the designed length - trying to push a barrow up one half that length might have been a bit difficult ............ I like the corrugated iron - what is it ? ____________________ 'Petermac |
