MASS-PRODUCED PLASTIC BUILDINGS are important ingredients of today's HO model railroads. Highly detailed, beautifully engineered, and painstakingly manufactured - and above all, inexpensive - these easy-to-build structure kits quickly provide the railroad buildings, homes, and factories needed to bring your layout to life.

But there are drawbacks: You set out to make your layout unique, and having buildings identical to those found on hundreds of other layouts isn't the way to do it! And kit-built structures often don't fit the odd-shaped spaces around and between the tracks.

Art Curren has solved both problems with a technique called "kit-bashing." He looks at a plastic kit and sees not a ready-made building but a collection of parts - parts which can be rearranged to make distinctive buildings that will fit on any layout.

This book is a compilation of Art's projects, but more than that, it presents his ideas and techniques. If you're building an HO model railroad now - or planning one for the future - this book is your invaluable guide to populating it with structures.
