Scenery - Structures
Scratch building using CAD and a 3d printer. AKA "Digital Scratch Building"
Schematic Drawn for Trenton Subdivision in N Scale (Finally!)
It has taken a while, but I finally have a schematic drawn of my Trenton Subdivision that I am comfortable publishing. I drew the initial plan before building started, that plan has changed many times during construction. I used AnyRail 6 to design this schematic and is very close to what is actually on the table or will be soon.
San Francisco Hamm's Brewery - 2
Well, an inquiry about the Hamm's Beer sign has sprouted another project. I seem to have a number of them in the works at any given time. I got a few of the LEDs I mentioned before to see how they would work out and they seem to be perfect for the project.
Kitbashing and expanding a City Classics building
I have a couple of DPM models and have enjoyed being creative with their modular templates. Nice, wish they had a wider selection of window architecture...
Recently, I came across the City Classics modular system. They have a building I'm interested in (Smallman Water Street Warehouse) but I would like to make it taller and longer.
My questions:
Are there templates for the city classics modular walls to print and plan a building?
Any examples of kitbashing a building using the city classics modular system?

A quick scenery update
Hi all,
Thanks for reading my last blog! I'm not doing a full blog post today, just a quick update on how my layout is getting on. You'll notice that I've started ballasting; I've been learning how to ballast from scratch this last week and it's been a real experience... not short of frustration I'll say that.
