FREIGHT HOUSES

Hi everybody

I have almost finished my first layout, but some buildings are still lacking particularly the freight house.

Since I'd like scratchbuild it, I'm looking for some drawings or similar.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Greetings from Italy

How to test your patience & possibly loose your marbles...

Like to find out how to do both?

Well I can say that if you attempt to build from scratch a HO scale wall light from "nengineering" then you will be tested in both categories and may loose both for sure!

O scale water tower for a NG layout that doesn't require a bank loan?

I'm looking for at least one O scale water tower for my On30 layout. The problem is nobody apparently makes a simple smaller water tank that isn't a craftsman kit or costs more than most locomotives.

Frankly, I don't get why a water tower can't come in the form of a simple plastic kit. They do in other scales. I'm fine with doing some work on said kit to meet my needs, but I'd rather not take on a crastman kit if I can avoid it.

Anyone know of a decent slightly smaller than mainline size O scale water tank for their steam engines?

cardstock to plastic

Contact cement? Rubber cement? Gold ol' Elmers white glue?  Caulk?

I know..."google is your friend", and I've done it. I have your basic craftstore checkerboard pattern cardstock sheet that I'm using for a floor of a cafe, and wondering what you, the MRH reader, recommends as a bonding agent.  I don't want things to 'levitate' around the floor or anything, so your experiences are much appreciated.

Swamp

Hello guys,

I want to make a small swamp on my layout, but I'm not sure how to, especially a slime on a water. Any idea? I've been looking for but I have not found anything useful yet.

Thanks in advance,

Jure, Slovenia
