If you are a model railroader, or just like constructing scale models for your HO scale, OO gauge, or N scale model railroad layout, then these 9 downloadable scale model houses and 4 garages are for you. Building a scale model house has never been easier or more realistic thanks to the printable paper PDF plans that can be constructed using scrap cardboard or using inexpensive materials like corflute. They key to the realism is the photo-realism of the printable paper plans. They come already weathered and colored with realistic textures including cracks, mold, and faking paint as an example.

These 9 scale model house designs are fun and straightforward to build (each design has easy-to-follow diagrams showing what to do). The paper designs come in easy to download PDF format which takes only moments to download. You can save the designs on your computer (or back them up on your portable hard drive or removable USB memory stick) for future use.

The paper house designs are easy to print and scale (see details below).

Download each plan once and then print out more than one copy if you want without the need to buy more downloads. There is no restriction on how many copies you legally print as long as each copy is exclusively for your private use. Sharing the designs on this website is a strict breach of copyright.

Building a scale model house is a lot of fun

The plans for these houses and garages include recommended construction methods (gluing the designs onto used cardboard or cardstock is proven to work well), but other materials like corflute and foam board are also popular with HO scale and N scale model railroaders (OO gauge in the UK). When constructed… and the adhesive has dried thoroughly, these cardstock scale house models are incredibly sturdy, although that’s not to stop you adding addition strips of card, foam, balsa, or corflute inside the completed printable models to make them as strong as a fortress! It’s a personal choice what you do.
It’s also entirely your choice how you finish off each of these scale houses. The supporting poles and posts can easily be made from balsa wood, dowel, or cheap wood skewers bought from a dollar discount store. A touch of acrylic paint and they look like real supporting posts. Obviously the balsa, card, glue etc is not included with the PDF downloads, but the downloaded printable plans are still only a fraction of the cost of plastic models which need to be shipped, constructed, painted and weathered.

Building a scale model house has never been easier or more realistic because the printable plans are pre-weathered and highly detailed with the utmost accuracy and realism. You can touch up the edges of the cardstock after you’ve finished construction if you choose to. A lead pencil works well, or you could use a felt-tipped pen on artist brush… but touch-ups probably won’t be required.

9 “True-To-Life” Model Railroad Printable Home Designs… to Make Building a Scale Model House Fun, Easy, Inexpensive and More Realistic Than Ever

Please note: the above images are a guide to what the completed models will look like. The scenery effects are shown here to give you some ideas for possible landscaping around the homes. They are a guide only, and obviously the scenery and construction materials are not included with the downloads. If you purchase the OO scale downloadable home plans, you can easily alter your printer settings to 87% and this will print the paper model to precisely HO scale. If you choose to purchase the N scale plans, you simply print the paper PDF plans same size. The paper plans are then glued on to cardstock or corflute and assembled.

Building a Realistic Looking Scale Model House (or Houses) to Bring an OO Gauge, N scale or HO Scale Model Railway Scene to Life

Model railroads shouldn’t just be static, stationary models depicting a fantasy railway scene. To replicate realism they need to look extremely realistic, with scale model building architecture (shops, industrial, residences etc.) and structures (bridges, tunnels, towers etc.); landscape including trees, roads, mountains, people, animals, lights and signals. To be effective an HO scale model railroad layout needs to be realistic looking and interesting, even if it is not based around a real life railroad setting.
