I suppose all Faller kits - except those of stations and everything close to the railway lines as well as kits which are showing a real building - are smaller than 1:87.  Which isn't a problem, as long as they somewhere further back. And I have the feeling their newer models are more scale than their old ones. I remember a 4 storey house on my first layout - it was more or less the same height than a scale 1-storey house...

Looks great! And it doesn't repeat as my blooming Faller background does...

from time to time I threw the railway in the corner and made one of these...

Merry Christmas

Sorry for the dust. Need to clean them....

Absolute lovely little machine and good choice of music. Did you build it or bought it? 

Well you got the right stuff. 3 guesses where my wood comes from - SLEC as well. but I went for 6mm poplar ply, as this is softer and very light. I worked with this material on a layout in the past, it is just brilliant - only I would rather use 9mm than 6 - but here in the UK it is hard to get.

Using the diagonal braces the danger of ripping out the brackets is practically solved. All the best with your lay-out. I will follow your progress.

Like it a lot. What ply are you using? Poplar? Any other light ply? I suppose with the standard stuff from the DIY shops it will not work.

Even my baseboard was made traditional (with milled finger joints) it has some similarities. It looks like you will fix legs into the corners - there will be quite a force on these legs -so cross-braces are a must or the parts holding the leg will break off.

see here my version.
