Making Interior Details of Buildings and offices

Over the past couple of weeks I have been reading a lot about Detailing your structures. I found a few major things you can add to the interiors of offices or homes that are within close visability of visitors.

These are very cheep to reproduice if you own a printer.

Lonesome Gulch Branchline

Hi all.

My name is Luis Lopes and I am from Portugal. I have been quiet but I am a big fan of Joe's work! I am also a biiiiiiiig fan of Espee! Just love those "bloody nose" units.

I am building one N Scale layout, just for railfanning. This is my 6th layout, I hope to have it done by the end of the summer.

The layout is 2,10 x 0,60 m. I am traying some new techniques, and some new materials.

Here are some pictures.

Buildings with rolling stock access

Hi All-

I've been looking for some time for structures that have doors large enough for sufficient clearance for interior sidings.  I am looking for structures suitable for a mid 1970's layout (an aged building would be fine, even preferred) in HO scale.

Wood Structure's on model railroad

I have a question on putting structures on the layout. I have built some wood structure kits and wonder how to attach them on the layout. My fear is if I would ever need to move or remove them from the layout they may get damaged. I am considering attaching them to gator foam and then when placing them on the layout build the scenery around the foam. I am interested in your ideas. 

 

 

Thanks

Curbing & Sidewalks

Hi All,

I'm after some ideas for installing some concrete curbing & sidewalks for our HO module.  I'm currently using styrene as the road, driveways and loading areas.  What have others used to achieve a realistic effect?  Is it easier to buy preformed plastic (like Walthers road/sidewalk system) or will I be able to scratch build something from styrene in the Evergreen range?

Cheers,

Jason...

CAD? Software for designing laser cut kits

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for good software (free is better) that I could use to produce .psp files which I could hand to a local laser cutter.  I just want to do this for myself, not make kits for sale.  I am very bad at cutting out parts for scratch building, but have had good luck assembling laser kits... so I would like to make some of my own design.

Anyone else already doing this?  What are you using?  What tips can you offer?

First diorama in awhile What do you think

this is a quick photo of the first diorama I built in awhile. I am not to crazy about the color of the dirt but I am sure I can use somthing to fix it. I am also going to be adding signs and additional detail yet. See me your thoughts on it as i am trying to do better. I think the dirt drive is what;s turning me off the most.
