Reproducing Marklin Tinplate

[Haggerleases]

Hi all.

 

First posting, so if I'm putting this in the wrong section, do let me know.

My question relates to Marklin Tinplate, mainly buildings, but also rolling stock/locomotives.

Obviously, early Tinplate Marklin stuff is both rare and pricey, I wonder then if anyone has had a go at reproducing those lovely whimsical station buildings and coaches etc in card, plasticard, metal, or whatever is suitable, (tinplate not so easy to work I'd guess without presses and moulds and so on).

 

Anybody had a go at this? If so, are dimensions available somewhere?

 

Many thanks
