RSS Fetcher Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 At the local narrow gauge convention, I bought a Detail associates kit for the "Foothill station". The kit is sold out since many years, so I guess it could be hard to find another one.... It is a mixed media, but mostly wood, kit with plastic windows and doors. The building is made for two levels of terrain which I will use to serve two railroads. A standard gauge railroad on the upper level, and a HOn3 narrow gauge on the lower. A bit like John Allen did with Corsa on the G&D. So, here are some pics of the build: I made fake nail heads on the walls with a Trumpeter rivet wheel. The various posts were a bit fiddly to line up against each other..... The roofs shingled and test fitted: Next step was the windows and doors. And painting it. I used Humbrol enamels for all of the painting. The windows were glassed with slide covers as I find them much realistic. The almost finished kit as it stands now: the nailheads can just be seen here.... Just a bit more to do, as connecting the lights and lay the tracks in front of the station. some ground cover would be nice as well.. A "vintage" pic of the station: It will represent the station in my freelanced version of Minturn Colorado. View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
