Really like the way you have shown 'newbies' how to scratch build. Excellent video. Like the Y technique. As a regular scratch builder I've done mine differently, but I'm going to try your way as it looks as effective and less work. Your system is very 'matter of fact' . . . but it works; I think that maybe I'm too precise, but then I have a statement: "Don't let perfection get in the way of good" . . . unless your track laying. Have started following all your videos as I just think that you are so down to earth which is so refreshing. Cheers guys.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks for your kind comments. I tend to have a practical pragmatic approach to most things, but agree that track needs doing right lol. Even then I use ballast mat rather than ballasting as it's simpler and more reliable

[@lazyrrr2411]

This is good to see . . . My mind gets locked up in pre-made plastic kits , but THIS much better suits My needs

[@peternewman9682]

Great inspiration for me - it encouraged me to try to build my own station. I followed your early steps of creating a plan and then cutting out the card shapes. However after that due to available resources and a real tight budget - i then added a thin layer of polystyrene which gave a real realistic brick pattern - i think better than a printed sheet. My roof was then covered with overlapping coffee stirrers - this gave a reslistic look of ridged tiles. Added some extra ridging around the roof and weather veins which when painted gave character to the model. Thank you for the inspiration.

Sounds fantastic glad we could help

[@davidsheriff8989]

No waste I see, great idea using bits left over for supports..easy trick

[@lescliff1795]

Shared because these are excellent videos

[@JPoulAndersson]

Hi Mike (and Douglas;-)), your scratch building techniques are excellent - really good to see some work being created out of almost nothing! I wish for both of you (and for my enjoyment) that you would some day build a super detailed layout/diorama. Clearly your skills are more than good enough for doing something like this. In the meantime, keep the cheap and cheerful projects coming! Cheers, Joachim

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Maybe one day, but it's not really what we are about at the moment. I think maybe when I retire and I have more time I might consider it, but probably only as a small diorama as I don't think super detail is appropriate for large layouts

[@NgaugeShelfLayouts]

Nice work! I find that making card and paper buildings is actually the most enjoyable part of model railways. It's amazing what you can create from experimenting with different shapes and paper brick wraps etc

[@deborahjohnston1394]

Nice buildings mike I've just started back again on my self layout I've down sized it to 1500mm long by 700mm wide made it a small shunntig siding for my n.z.r rolling stock . Just a quick update on the fire over in Nelson it's still out of control the residents of wakefeild have been evacuated toady Will keep update soon cheers Bruce

[@johanswanepoelswanies7483]

So informative, thank you.

[@davidcutts2650]

Cool. I respect your patience & skill in making your own buildings.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Hopefully we have shown that anybody can do the same

[@RobA500]

Coming along nicely.

[@barryuk676]

Thanks Mike, I had a trial run of making a building which I downloaded free, sticking the printed paper to card, cutting and folding the card and then trying to glue it all together without getting glue over the finished surface of the building resulting in an epic fail, your method is much better I shall be doing it like that from now on.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks for your support, we will be up loading another update in a week or so

[@michaeldavies9600]

How good is that! Great stuff.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks

[@mattmatty4670]

Cool thanks mate

[@alant3970]

I loved the reference to a Mk1 spreader LOL

[@sparky107107]

looking good..

[@ralphviola6594]

Enjoy your videos on building buildings. Are you using very thin foam core or heavy cardboard for the walls. It seems very stiff for heavy paper. Thank you

[@BudgetModelRailways]

It's mounting board as used by picture framers. My local one sells off the off cuts cheap

[@davidartist2750]

Brilliant video once again!......I will have to start building again soon...am having to give up on n gauge,as I’m slowly being priced out.......going over to oo as the prices are more reasonable for used items,so will be copying your building tips closely in future!!

[@BudgetModelRailways]

I had the same problem with N and gave up for the same reasons

[@davidartist2750]

Budget Model Railways it’s a shame,because space is a premium for me ,but it will be good to try something new......and I’ll be able to buy some of your items!!

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Market town my OO layout is only 4ft by 18in the same size as most small N gauge layouts and much cheaper!

[@davidartist2750]

Budget Model Railways encouraging as always! Thanks for your comments...I have about 9’x2.6” to play with so should be fine

[@BudgetModelRailways]

30in should allow you to run a first radius curve that many locos, inc some older larger ones, will go round it as well as larger coaches etc

[@simonjames3845]

Might be helpful to use a couple of bulldog clips or clothes pegs to hold the parts together when asembling the whole building.

[@clashofminiatures]

Another great project. thanks for sharing Chuck RVRR

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Thanks Chuck

[@MrOldCrow]

I mysefl make buildings somewhat like this. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do videos on it. Someday maybe I'll do a quick show of what buildings I've done so far. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Hungary, AGAIN!!!! XD

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Hi to you and Hungary. I must admit sometimes we struggle to get the videos done so I know what you mean!

[@MrOldCrow]

@@BudgetModelRailways Of course you have the time to get them done. You're getting support from MEEE! XD Jokes aside, I don't have a family yet, I broke up with my girlfriend a years ago, after 8 years, and yet I still struggle to find time besides my job and my business. But sometimes I have 1 or 2 days when I can do a complete building from start to finish.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

If only we could buy time!!

[@mikesmith2905]

Lego (or the cheaper knock offs) are good for setting corners dead square

[@gregpotter6957]

Simples! 👍😊

[@hobbytimewithpapadan8436]

Very cool video. Thank you for sharing. Papadan

[@nigelcarter9503]

I liked that.

[@daviemaclean61]

I prefer plasticard as cardboard doesn't do well in my loft, but otherwise a great scratch build.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

What function does the building have

[@BudgetModelRailways]

It's a small station building

[@oscarosullivan4513]

@@BudgetModelRailways Thanks,does your lima class 33 have the pancake motor, I am curious to know if the old lima pancake motor is a smooth, slow runner.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Hi yes it has the old pancake motor. I have four now and they all run differently, I'm told this is because the quality control was a bit erratic . However they all run better with clean wheels and contacts and a good service and lube, plus ensure they have the original weights or suitable replacement

[@oscarosullivan4513]

@@BudgetModelRailways Is it genreally a good smooth slow runner.

[@BudgetModelRailways]

Mine BR blue one is an excellent slow runner, if a little noisy.
