Plan 2428 - 1900's Catalog HousePDF Plan package: $9.95
The Parker House is thought to be one of the many kit houses available by mail order in the early 1900's.
Although now showing signs of age and neglect, it was once a showpiece in what was then an upscale neighborhood in Vancouver, BC.
Unfortunately the days are numbered as this formerly elegant yet practical four bedroom two story home yields to higher density urban development.

Plan 444 - Grand Trunk Pacific BunkhousePDF
Plan package: $7.95
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway was formed in 1903 as a subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway. The GTP mainline ran from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, to the port of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Financial difficulties led the GTP
and the GTR to merge with the Canadian Northern to become part
of the Canadian National Railway.
Bunk houses such as these provided sleeping accommodations for railway work crews along the routes. Several railroad lines on both
sides of the border used similar designs, which were sometimes modified to be used as portable stations.

Plan 445 - Greymouth NZ Signal Box
PDF
Plan package: $8.95
Greymouth, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, is the western terminus of the Midland Line from Christchurch. It is also the terminus of the TranzAlpine, a tourism orientated rail journey often considered to be one of the most scenic in the world.
As technology encroaches on the traditional rail traffic control systems, signal boxes such as this one are either demolished, or if good fortune prevails, are declared heritage sites and restored to their former glory.
This is the HO Scale version using textures from the Model
Builder ® software program.

Plan 545 - Trackside BuildingsPDF
Plan package: $8.95
This set consists of a Section Tool House, Lineman's
Tool House, storage shed, and of course, the organic sewage
disposal facility. Although these structures were modelled after
trackside maintenance sheds, they could easily be used as farm or other
accessory buildings.
For scratch builders, this is a good project for using up short ends and scrap pieces.
* Please note: This plan includes tiny buildings, so N
scale may require more intricate modelling skills.

Plan 1042 - Coaling StationPDF
Plan package: $9.95
In the days of steam locomotives, travel distances were limited by the available on board storage of fuel and water.
Tenders attached to the locomotives were designed to increase this capacity, allowing a train to travel greater distances, but regular
stops were still necessary. Coaling stations were regular sights along rail lines. This is a 25 Ton capacity tipple capable of filling
about three to four locomotives a day. Coal was dumped from a hopper car, then shoveled into a skip bucket, which was raised to the top of the tower by an electric winch. * Note: The cardstock version will require some balsa components.

Plan 892 - CNoR Section HousePDF
Plan package: $8.95
Railway section houses took various forms and could be used for anything from railway worker housing
to storage or maintenance of railway equipment. The CNoR Railway, (later to become part of CNR), built several
combination Station/Section Houses which were often used as accommodation for the Stationmaster and his family.
This version included a passenger waiting room on the main floor.

Plan 1390 - Water TowerPDF
Plan package: $8.95
In the days of steam locomotives travel distances were limited by the available on board storage of
fuel and water. Tenders attached to the locomotives were designed to increase this capacity, allowing a train to
travel greater distances, but regular stops were still necessary. Water towers were regular sights
along rail lines. This example is
modeled after a 40, 000 gal. tower common to CNR, CPR, and many
other railroads across Canada and the U.S.

Plan 1438 - New Haven Railroad Engine housePDF Plan package: $9.95
The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, sometimes referred to as just New Haven Railroad, was a consolidation of several smaller railroads in the Northeastern United States during the late 1800's.
This engine house, on the New Haven "Wrentham Line" half way between Boston, Massachusetts and Providence Rhode Island, operated from 1892 to 1938. Although it still stands today, it now serves only as a storage warehouse.
This N Scale version is constructed with balsa covered in
printed brick paper, with windows from
Northeastern Scale Lumber Co.
The modular plans allow for anywhere from one to over twelve bays, depending
on your available space. (*includes 'photo-texture' cardstock sheets)Download plans in either N, HO, OO, or O

Plan 616 - The Last SpikePDF Plan package: $8.95
When British Columbia joined Canada as it's sixth province, one of the promises made was the construction of an intercontinental railway linking BC to the rest of Canada,
to be completed within ten years. Ten years came and went, but it was not until responsibilities were assumed by the newly incorporated Canadian Pacific Railway that the project reached completion.
Craigellachie, located between Salmon Arm and Revelstoke on the Trans-Canada Highway, is the site of the historic last spike of the railway linking British Columbia to Eastern Canada on November 7, 1885.

Plan 1569 - Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad DepotPDF Plan package: $9.95
The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad had its' beginnings in the mid 1850's with the purpose of linking the Great Lakes with the Mississippi River.
In 1863 as the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, it gradually acquired other smaller railways working its' way west to Seattle. This depot is typical of a style that could be found
anywhere from Washington State all the way to Minnesota. The scaled lumber version uses clapboard and board & batten siding from
Northeastern Scale Lumber Co. Cardstock version uses balsa eave brackets. Download plans in either N, HO, OO, or O Scale

Plan 1730 - NYLB DepotPDF Plan package: $9.95Back in 1876 you could get a one way ticket on the
New York and Long Branch Railroad from Matawan, New Jersey to New York City for under a dollar.
The Matawan and
Red Bank Depots were two of five similar stations using the same mid-Victorian design. The ‘half-hip’ roof style is similar in design to many such railway buildings across North America. The NYLB Matawan freight shed is available as Plan 730. This is the HO Scale version using scaled lumber from Northeastern Scale Lumber. Garden Scale and 1:10 scale for
RC vehicles
available here. The cardstock version will require balsa eave brackets.

Plan 2008 - CNR 3rd Class DepotPDF Plan package: $9.95
The Canadian Northern Railway, (later absorbed into the Canadian National Railway),
built various versions of their 3rd Class Depot from as far west as Fort Langley, B.C. down into various
locations in Minnesota. One of the reasons for the popularity of the design was the integration of living accommodations for the agent's family.
The dormers brought light and extra space to the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen was located in the rear addition.
This Fort Langley version uses milled basswood
siding and handmade "barn" shakes, which were common on the West Coast of British Columbia. Some of these depots were originally finished in stucco, so this model could be constructed with foam core
as well. Download plans in

Plan 2054 - CPR DepotPDF Plan package: $9.95
The CPR station in Blyth, Ontario was once a stopover between the cities of Goderich to the west and Guleph
to the east. The design followed CPR's Plan 10, which was repeated in several other locations throughout Ontario.
Passenger service from Goderich began in 1907,
declining by the 1950's, to be replaced by a mixed freight/passenger service.

Plan 2062 - CNoR 2nd Class StationPDF

Although not as common as the CNoR 3rd Class design,
there were roughly thirty 2nd Class Stations scattered across Canada and down into Minnesota.
Like the 3rd Class version, these were combination depot/section houses, often accommodating the Stationmaster and his family.
This example is modeled after the station in
Radville Saskatchewan,
where the original is being restored by a dedicated group of
volunteers. Download plans in either N, HO, OO, or O Scale

Building a scale model structure for your model railroad layout or diorama from scratch can be a very
rewarding experience. The satisfaction comes not just from the economical savings, but from the fact that you built it from scratch. It may not be
as difficult as you think either. If you have ever constructed a model. whether it's a car, an airplane, or a model structure, you know that all the pieces do
not necessarily fit together as they should, and you end up doing some extra cutting, sanding, or customizing to make them fit anyway. Depending how you look
at it, building from our plans only involves a few extra steps, and the benefits are worth it. Each plan is applicable to a variety of materials. You can use one
set of plans to build several distinctive buildings just by choosing different building materials. Give it a try. Beginners Welcome!
