A journey through the hobby, by Trevor Marshall
A quick update:
My Niagara St. Catharines & Toronto Railway freight motors need a home so I’ve started work on the Welland Avenue car barn in St. Catharines. I’m using brick sheet from Rail Scale Models and modified Tichy windows. So far, so good.
Back to the workbench!

Thanks. I am very happy with the progress and I like the mix of doors and windows on the prototype. It’s been a good challenge – especially for my first scratch built brick structure.

I hope you share more detailed photos and discuss these details down the road.

Those are some gorgeous looking walls. There is something to be said for larger scales where more of the detail can be noticeable. Love the progress being made.

Looking good! Do you stick the brick sheets onto something, or are they thick enough?

The car barn is looking great Trevor. I’d love to see more detail of how you build if you can.
