Title: Small rural Station masters House.
Post by: Oldman on September 30, 2012, 10:59:41 AM
Ideas wanted   :pleasesign:
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. :help:

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.

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.
