You might have wanted to make scale models like these, but with the high cost of buying plastic kits could have put you off. Well, now you can download plans to scratch-build these 9 printable paper models for only $29.95 which is a saving of around 70% off the individual prices – and, probably about 10% of the cost of buying comparable plastic kits for these models if they were available. There is nothing wrong with plastic kits, however they do require good airbrushing skills so as to “kind of” replicate the real photographic images utilized in many of these designs.

Simply download these plans, print them out, glue them to discarded card from old cereal boxes, and assemble them. Photographic style images are used, so there is no weathering, painting, or airbrushing required. If you want to a bit more than the norm, then you can touch up the edges and folds with a lead pencil, paint brush, or felt tipped pen. You can also sticks some additional scrap card on the inside of buildings after assembly if you want to do that for extra sturdiness. You could also give the models a couple of very light sprays of clear matt varnish if you deem it necessary. It is entirely your choice.

The two model train stations, two railway station platforms, two engine sheds, the red brick freight depot, replica signal box, and telegraph office can be downloaded, and constructed for N scale, OO gauge, and HO scale model railroads.

Railroad Structures

Railroad Structures

Paper Building Models are an Excellent Way to Construct a Substantial Model Railroad Scene for Minimal Cost and Maximal Realism

On real life-size railroads, the switching yard is a set of track sidings where the cars and wagons get unloaded or loaded. A lot of engine shunting goes on as trains get moved around and wagons get added and deleted. So how do you replicate real life reality on scale model railroads? On model train layouts a switching yard or siding is sometimes near a passenger railway station, but in larger towns there might be a separate goods station or freight depot. Inward and outbound mail traffic might traditionally have been handled within (or nearby) the train station. Sizes and scale can be altered to fit the confined space of a model railroad, because in realty trains run of tens or sometimes hundreds of miles without stopping or passing through cities, towns, or even rural communities. So, sometimes the model railroader needs to compact the scene to fit enough activity and signs of human life onto the scaled-down layout. To model a scene that represents a full size scene of 100 miles would take an enormous space in N scale, let alone the bigger HO sale or OO gauge used for model railroads.
