I have a spot on my layout for a very small structure between two tracks, and I'm trying to decide what to put there. The maximum footprint is 10x10 scale feet. I could just do a shed, but I'd prefer to come up with something a little less generic, and/or something less frequently modeled.
Any suggestions? What kind of small, rundown structures might logically be found close to the tracks? (It's a narrow gauge layout, so there wouldn't be any block signal circuit boxes, etc.)
Ray,
I grew up with a small SP junction as my actual backyard.
The only 10 by 10 foot structures that I remember were the forts that my friends and I built using rail ties.
Every week or so the railroad people would come along and tear them down but we enjoyed them for a while.
A privy might be a nice touch.
In my box of plans somewhere are three little structures that MR ran an article on about 30 years ago.
The most interesting visually was a set of stairs with a small platform at the top for refueling the oil stove in a caboose.
Having just moved I have no idea where those plans are, of course, but maybe someone else has them.
A small structure for flares and such is always nice but not very distinctive.
Don,
As I was driving around today I realized there is a great little building for your area.
A small garage for a speeder.
