Title: Clever Models' Gorre engine house built in N Scale
Post by: ridetheory on August 25, 2015, 04:33:44 PM
I made this in about a week of evenings, spread out over July and August.

I modified the kit very slightly, adding the "Gorre & Daphetid Railroad" sign, pits with steps on each end between the tracks, and four new corner pieces to cover up the joints where the walls met the front and back facades.

Very nice build.

I once read the article John Allen wrote about building this engine house. Allen built the original from cardstock.
