HEY JOHN   Not quite sure what you are asking (how did you do the stone building). I"ll try a short response here. I've used a lot of styrofoam on my layout to create varying terrain levels. The stone building was designed to fit where there was an abrupt drop in the terrain. Always short on available space on the layout, my thinking was to create two different scenes in a 1' by 2' area.  The building is constructed out of wood, Luan for the walls/roof.  Grandt Line windows, doors, architectural features; Plastruct tile sheet for the roof; Scenic Express paper wall.  The brick street material was purchased from a company I believe is no longer in business unfortunately. The brick was embossed on a thin flexible rubber type material. A "brick" sheet (approximately  12" by 12") also included sidewalk pavers, curb,& man hole covers. That was cut and glued to the styrofoam. Hope this answered your inquiry. If not let me know. Thank you for your compliment!      This is a great thread, an opportunity for everyone to share their creativity. As you can tell I love scratch building. The trains are just an excuse.
