Small rural Station masters House.

Ideas wanted

i have decided that I am going to build a station masters house/cottage at Heel Station. This need to be a totaly independant structure and am looking for ideas.
Needs to be fairly small footprint as it will be at the front of the module.

I used the farm house from metcalfe, a photo of mine and than the sizes from the metcalfe site, just click the second picture to see if the building would fit, it comes in 4 pieces, the main house that is. can be slightly rearranged.

The Scalescenes medium station has a station masters house that can be made a stand alone structure.

Glad my idea was partly useful, even if the wrong party haha.

Ive never worked with the scale scenes kits meself, I may have to purchase one sometime and have a crack at one.

sorry MP. checked the size would have swamped the space unfortunately

Have you looked at the Peco kit, NB-14. Its a nice little model that can easily be hacked about to fit a space (or lack thereof). The Scalescenes kits also lend themselves to being chopped around to fit a space, I always found them to be more suitable as scratch aids than as stand alone kits.
