Constructing Buildings for Model Railways

This book progresses through planning and thought processes, aiming to demonstrate pictorially several different build types. From the simple paper kit to mighty scratch-built edifices, each is broken down to show how the build is undertaken. The volume also follows some of the rebuilding process undertaken by the Market Deeping Model Railway Club as layouts were repaired, enhanced, or replaced following their annual show being vandalised on the night before public opening in May 2019. As the news of this event broke, it spread through the modelling community and the general public. The images of layouts broken to matchwood showed the many years of skilled building and devoted operation which were lost. This gave the opportunity for experienced club members to build a mini movie set, construct a major London terminus and patch repair what could be saved from originals. The photographs captured of these projects have been used in this book alongside the detailed work of other modellers, clubs, and societies.
