How to make inexpensive trackside equipment.
Loading...
Uploaded by Tomlan2007 on Dec 22, 2007
All I'm trying to say in this vid is that you DON'T need to spend a fortune on trackside stuff.
Why spend £20 on a ready made engine shed which you just plonk on your layout when, for the same money and a bit of effort, you can get...
Engine shed, village church, platelayer's hut,Coal Office,loading gauge and water crane? It's not difficult and the satisfaction is ten fold!
More details of how I built and painted these can be found here

Blimey, I've still got the Dapol church and loco shed from the layout I built with my father as a youngster. Rest of the layout got broken up after I moved out. Most of it's been boxed up. Hopefully it will see the light of day again

Thanks for the comment kapcai69, sorry I'm a bit late replying.... Creative? I suppose so. but patient? Not me! Acrylics are sooo easy to use that you can splash it about knowing that if it doesn't work, you can easily do it again and it dries with a lot thinner coat than enamel that you can just overpaint any mistakes.. :-)

Roughly how much did your layout cost
killerbees177 2 years ago
Very difficult question! The wood was in the garage already so the baseboard cost nothing. The buildings are Metcalfe and I didn't buy a lot of extra track. The scenics (ballast, trees etc.) probably all came to about £60. I guess if I had to buy the whole thing new, it would cost somewhere in the region of £250.
