Scratch building a city pub from card in N Scale for my N Gauge model railway

In this video from my N Gauge model railway layout Chandwell, I show you how I made an N scale (1:148) city pub/city inn from card and some of the smaller detail elements that I added to make the building come to life. If you're interested in scratch-building model railway buildings from card in any scale, but especially N Scale, then I am sure you will be interested in this building!

I love scratch building with cardboard. I designed the building in Inkscape using textures and glazing from Scalescenes, some laser-cut elements from Scale Model Scenery, and a decorative wall light from Woodland Scenics.

As well as showing my scratch-built city pub, I include a technique I discovered for making easy N-Scale downspouts for your N Gauge buildings.

I show you some of the smallest details on the pub. Some of them, in N Gauge, are REALLY tiny!
