Traceable patterns, plans, and more for N, HO, OO, O and other scale structures.

These are plans and not kits, so you are not paying extra for pre-cut materials, step by step instructions, or a detailed materials list. Instead, you get the details you need, the choice to use whatever building materials you choose, and the freedom to customize as you like.

It's a simple as: Print to standard letter size paper, cut out the templates and trace onto balsa, basswood, styrene, foam board, or any other choice of hobby material. No calculations necessary - templates are scaled to proper size.

Basic hand tools can produce incredible results. Specialty tools make the job easier, but you can go a long way with just a hobby knife, razor saw, and straight edge.

Templates included (Available in N, HO, OO & O scales

 - scalable to Z, TT & S scales)

Each scaled plan set, (unless otherwise noted), comes with a bonus ready to print cardstock version in addition to the regular plans. Cardstock printed structures have a unique appeal. They can be an inexpensive alternative to wood or plastic construction, and if you make a mistake you just print out another sheet. You can apply weathering techniques to greatly increase realism. A cardstock model also makes an excellent "mock-up" prior to scratch-building with other materials.  Also available on request are WMF template files importable into Model Builder software. *This is subject to change.

* Now included - 11 page Cardstock Modeling Guide as well as a 12 page generic Construction Guide!

Color cardstock file included (N, HO, OO, and O scales)

For the 'craftsman' who enjoys scratch building and wants more of a challenge, scaled plan packages include a set of scaled ‘blueprints’ for a true scratchbuilt structure using your choice of materials. Imperial measurements are provided, but since all plans are drawn actual size you can work in metric if you prefer.

Scaled plans included (N, HO, OO, and O scales)

Other scales possible with printer scaling (See tutorial)

Request our Free Two-car Garage in N, HO, OO, O or G scale. If you have never built a model structure from scratch but would like to give it a try, or if you want to try cardstock modeling this is a good first step. Or for only $3.95 you can get the Plan package for the NYLB Railroad freight shed in Matawan New Jersey.
