Reply to "Scale Drawings for Passenger Train Stations"

Hi Milwaukee Rd Paul,

I am an avid scratch builder and my technique is to go out to a building with cam era and tape measure.  I measure the building horizontally and photo the **** out of it.

From the photo you posted I believe the building is brick faced. take a bad of paper and measure the size of one brick. then measure the height and width of about 6 bricks so you can include the mortor joint spacing in drawing your plans. Sketch the building and count the bricks to determin correct heights. You will be able to determine window size based on your brick scale.

 

If you check my web site www.westportmodelworks.com You may find some windows and other items that would assist you. Also check "my current projects" for scratch building tips.

 

Best of wishes
