This is the build of Rail Scale Models Branchline Coalhouse. A new manufacturer for me so I am starting with one of the smaller simpler structures to get to know how Steve's kits build .
I'll place all my Rail Scale Models builds in this thread.

There is a bracing diagram in the manual , I did some additional horizontal bracing , you can never have to much bracing.

Nice kit Jan.....I'll be looking in. :)
Jan,
I'm in on the thread following as well. Looks like a nice kit.
Tom ;D
Jan,
Thanks for trying out my kits... and posting your progress here. I can't wait to see how they come together for you, and get some of your feedback.
For those that see a resemblance in some of my N scale kits to those of Carolina Craftsman Kits, it is true, your eyes are not mistaken. Jeff G of CCK and I have an arrangement that I am reproducing some of his kits into N scale.
Hope you enjoy these kits.
Best Regards,
Stephen Milley

Thanks for following along , and Steve thanks for making N-scale kits , we need more like you and Rich and Darryl to name a few.
Jan,
Looks like a well designed kit. I'll be checking in, too.
Welcome to the forum Steve..... :)
Sprayed lightly with a dark green from rattle can, trim and corner posts done with a green artists marker. Installed the doors.

Tomorrow I'll go on with the next kit from RSM
I like the color. In your first couple of pics, I thought it might be a tad dark. But with the weathering you did in the last photos, it lightened up nicely. Nice contrast to the usual fare one tends to see.
Vince
Thanks Vince , I agree , without the powders it would have been slightly too dark.
Jan,
Nice build and really well done weathering.
Tom ;D
Very nice Jan. Great idea with the wire brush.
Thank you Tom and Curt
Neat build Jan.....just the right amount of weathering. 8)

Jan
Your coming along nicely with this build. I will be following along. Also, welcome to the forum Stephen.
Hi Jan:
Looking good so far.
Karl
Thanks John and Karl, much appreciated.
Jan,
I go away for a couple days and you finish one and start another. First build looks great, color and weathering are excellent. Nice to see someone using the Vallejo colors on a structure, I like the look of the second build, too.
Thanks Jerry, Vallejo paint is my favorite , doesn't need several layers , dries quickly and they have a few colors that are just enough different to others.
Nice work Jan.
Mike :)
Thank you Mike , much appreciated. I will probably not be going to Ontraxs for the first time, hope someone else can get some photo's.
I hope you are OK my friend?
Mike
Oh yes I am okay thanks , the reason is I didn't know until today that it was next Friday , so won't be getting off work.

Already started on the next one .
Great looking building.
Jan
Very nice work. This build looks great.
Thanks Curt and John , somehow I can't get the roof toned down, despite powders and matte medium.
Jan
If you want to tone it down I would try alcohol without the ink. Try it on a sample first - it should cut the color down just a little. Whip your brush on a paper towel and see if it takes some of the pigment off.
Nicely done Jan..... 8)
Thanks Gregory
I still find it hard to believe it is N scale.
Great job Jan.
Jim
Very nice Jan.
Jerry
Thanks Jim and Jerry, the difference is in the details Jim , weathering and detailing N-scale is easier because the amount needed is less. That does show on photo's though because the structures are magnified much more then larger scales.
Jan,
Nicely done on the model.
I've found that although matte medium dries to a clear finish, it also has a slight satin finish look. I think a flat finish spray and when dry followed up with a very light dry brushing of a light gray or off white should tone down the roof.
Tom ;D
Thank you Tom , going to try both John's and your method.
Next one up is Village Provisions, these are all nice , easy , well put together kits , so very suitable for the novice builder .

The walls are much lighter in this photo , same lighting so don't know why, this is actually more like the real color although the windows are mint green and not white.

Jan,
I'll be following along as I enjoy all your builds. One thing, you may want to consider adding a second coat of paint to the doors, they look unfinished.

Tom ;D
Funny thing is I only noticed that with the photo's , barely visible in real, but I will be painting them a second time.
The print shop came out nice. I did a similar roof coloring on a Meadowville Station build using multiple color washes overlapping overlapping overlapping and then a final wash.
Thanks Lynn, I'm starting to feel better, going to work again tomorrow so I will also be doing benchwork again.
When I get tired of building I tend to lean toward working on the layout, always nice to have a couple options.

Same here , or I will do some military modeling , but this time the flu kept me away from everything.

Everything is looking just beautiful. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for the encouragement Karl , really appreciate it.

Real nice looking building.
Thanks Curt , you're being very kind , not exactly a craftsmen kit , but it will do well as a filler on my layout.
Well done Jan.....can't have enough filler structures on a layout. 8)
Thanks Gregory
Nice work, its amazing what can be done even with the cheapo kits.
Thank you Lynn, hadn't looked at it that way yet , a lotta bang for the buck , thanks again.
Nice job on the kit, Jan. To me the doors don't look as weathered as the siding. It's probably the picture. :)
Jeff
Thanks Jeff, the doors aren't weathered much , but the black on the walls looks much more then in real life, it's supposed to be a fairly well kept building .
Hey Jan:
Looks great.

Jan,
I enjoy following your builds. This is one neat structure. I love how you finished the rolled roofing on the sub structure. Great job on these Rail Scale Models.
The branch line engine house would be nice in HO scale but it would be an easy scratch build.
Keep up the fantastic work Jan.
Tom ;D
Thanks Tom , rolling roof looks better when weathered , photo's tomorrow, glad you enjoy following along.
Weathering the roof with powders , a bit too much , no not really , you'll see later.(https://modelersforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fjanbouli.com%2Fimages%2Fgebouwen%2Frsmeng%2Frsmeng20.jpg&hash=770e93c0e3235b05bd46e74b2529554b14572e47)
Same roofs after a spray of Dullcoat. And some more photo's of the finished outside of the structure, still hoping to find a decent photo for the inside.

Okay , I edited the photo's and saw them at least 5 times each and didn't notice one of the walls was upside down, have to fix it tomorrow.

Now that's funny.....don't feel bad, I've almost done that a couple of times myself (luckily caught it before it was glued).....and I'm a builder..... ;D ;D ;D
I guess the door at the top of the wall was a dead give-a-way.

Yeah , the little people complained they couldn't get in. Fixed it this evening, all it took was a very sharp razor blade.

Nice job. I thought that once the walls were glued together you were kind of stuck (no pun intended). What kind of glue do you use? I use Titebond 3 for my wood-to-wood interfaces. I wonder if it matters.....

I use Deluxe Materials Super Phatic Glue , it bonds wood , but also plastics and other materials, unlike normal wood glue it has capillary action . In-spite of it gluing very well you can cut it with a razor blade , you just have to be careful to stay right in between the 2 glued surfaces. You only need a tiny bit of the glue and if you spill a little it's easily taken away with a cotton swab.

That will teach you to work in a scale that you cannot see! ! ! ! !
There is a reason that I am not an N scaler.
thanx

Oh , I have plenty of room , but I'd rather build my N-scale Empire in it then Diorama's ;)
Just found this thread. Build(s) look great - can you give some more details on how you finished/weathered the rolled roofing? (or did you cover it and I just missed it? )
Thanks!

I use powders , in this case some moss green and brown colored ones , just brush some on from top to bottom. Then ( found this out by chance ) I fixate it with a spray can of Humbrols Hobby Spray Varnish , I don't know if it's the brand I use or something else but it always gets that white faded look, I love it so I'm looking for a new can of the stuff. Seems the replacement is Acrylic Varnish matt from Humbrol, just hoping it has the same effect.

Thanks. The result looks great - mine always end up looking like I stuck a bunch of strips of construction paper to the roof!
I'm not familiar with Humbrols Spray Varnish but the "white faded look" you describe sounds like it's coming from some sort of reaction between the surface and the flattening agent (typically talc) that's in the "clear" varnish.
The guys who weather modern era freight cars use a similar reaction between Dullcote and alcohol to produce the "whitening" faded effect. I might have to experiment with that a little.
Thanks again!
Marty
Jan,
Nice job on the model and I really like the results on the roof.
Tom ;D
Thanks Tom.
