Title: A model railway shop for a friend
Post by: robynt on November 24, 2022, 01:21:52 PM
I have a friend who often said he would love to have his own model railway shop, with his birthday due soon I decided to build him his very own shop. The model is HO scale and hand made using card, it also has some interior details. I built the model over two nights as I had to get it in the post to catch his special day. Needless to say, he was very happy with his new little shop.

What a lovely idea and well executed, I bet he is over the moon! Will he be able to put it on a layout?

Best wishes,

Tim

My friend has a rather large layout and he has found a home for it on the main street, he was surprised when it arrived on his birthday.

Great job, Robyn.
When I read the thread title I thought "Now that is very generous" but even it being a model model shop is very thoughtful of you.

It's a bit harsh calling Robyn a tool don't you think?
