Building A OO Gauge Model Railway: Scratch Build Series - 1.1 Making The Basic Structure

In this first episode we are going to cover the initial construction of the shell of the building. This will require the use of card, glue and some patience cutting all the relevant parts out. It’s a little longer than I intended but I wanted to demonstrate as much of the building process as possible to aid anyone taking part with their own project.

This project had been designed for a OO gauge layout but simple conversion of the measurements will allow it to be built in N or O gauge if wished.

Should you wish to take part in the build, the plans, kindly drawn up by Paul of PJSJ Designs, can be found by going to one of the following two links and searching the album section at the top of the page...
