The free video tutorials on this website show you how… even if you have never downloaded, printed, and built your own railroad structures before!

These model railroad building plans can be purchased in either OO gauge or N scale sizes.

If Your Railway is OO, HO or S Scale…

If you work in HO scale then select the OO gauge option when adding an item (or pack deal) to the Shopping Cart. After downloading the plan(s) you can choose to print and assemble each PDF to the same size, or if you require the structures a little smaller, you simply adjust your printer settings to reduce the printed size.

Many railroaders print the plans same size but, for absolute accuracy HO is 87% of OO gauge, so you just adjust your printer settings accordingly. For S scale simply change your printer settings to 119% of OO.

If Your Railway is N or Z Scale…

You can also buy these downloadable railroad plans in N scale. If your require Z scale, just change your printer settings to reduce the N scale model buildings to 73%.

More Clever Construction Ideas For Amazing Realism…

These designs are quick and easy to download. They are fun to build and incredibly realistic when constructed using card or corflute, and balsa for balconies or posts.

If you want to add extra strength, it is easy to glue some extra cardstock or corflute inside each building after construction. That is optional. Also, you can cut out a door or window to show it partly open, or you can glue another door or window behind the cut out section to provide an added 3D effect. Again that is entirely optional, and shows how you can easily adapt these plans to add your own personal touches. No painting or weathering is required,unless you want to touch up some edges.

Instant Access. Quick & Easy To Download To Your Computer…

After purchase you will be immediately directed to a download page, so there is no waiting, or shipping to pay. You can save the plans directly to your computer for future use. Download once and you can print out as many copies as you want for your own personal private use.
