A MODEL RAILROAD is more than locomotives and cars and track. To be truly representative of the real thing, a model railroad must also have buildings -stations, enginehouses, section houses and the like. To round out the scene and give the railroad a job to do, the layout should also include lineside industries.
Easy-to-Build Model Railroad Structures is a collection of construction articles from past issues of MODEL TRAINS. From it you can choose various types of structures best suited to your own needs, and build them from scratch. Some of the items are very similar to some that are available in kit form, if you prefer to build from kits. The rectangular water tank, for instance, can be had in a Tru-Scale kit. The gateman's tower can be had in a Selley kit. Mostly, however, these are buildings to be built from scratch.
For your convenience, scale rules for HO, S and 0 gauges are included in the margins of pages 2, 3 and 4. To build in any gauge, measure the plans with the rule which matches the scale of the plans, then measure your work with the rule for your gauge. Because HO gauge is used by more people than any other, most of the plans, but not all of them, are given in HO scale.
