Post a write up and pictures of Scratch Built or Kit-bashed Layout Buildings you have made or modified or scratch built.

I will start with one of my first kit-bashed Plasticville buildings , the Bachmann Coal Station, number 1975.

The project was to make a raised roof, (which had a conveyor to spread coal), on the the Coal Station to replace the 1975 flat roof. I always liked the looks of that style coal station. I used 1/8 inch tempered Masonite with one smooth side. The smooth sides were scored with a knife to look like siding. Windows were cut out and made and installed in the top section. The parts were glued with Elmer's glue. A sheet metal roof, obtained at a train show, was installed.

Finished Coaling Station

View of the under side of the new roof.

Now let us see one of your Scratch Built or Kit-bashed layout building.
