I also cut around three sides of the door and scored the forth side so that the door could open. I then bent all the glue tags at right angles using a square edge of the MDF cutting board and also the corners of the building. I cut the floor section making sure it was the right size and square. I glued the sections together using a small tube of super glue making sure not to glue myself to the cardboard and clamped the joints together with some small spring loaded craft clamps and left them to dry doing just the wall joints first and making sure that they matched, then I glued in the floor and finally the roof section and the ridge molding.
Having a floor makes it easier to glue in position on the layout. By taking your time and paying attention to detail you will have a pretty good looking building to add to your layout and they are also inexpensive to download and make.
I added some clump foliage, some railroad junk just scattered about the building, a couple of shovels and picks leaning against the shed and also some railroad workers to add more realism to the scene.
I also made a second shed and a cabin in some where between N and HO scale to add to a mountain scene away from the railroad as though it was in the background. The cabin and the shed were surrounded with pine trees. I scattered some under brush material around the clearing including same small tree stumps painted and weathered.
I cut up some small dowel into firewood lengths and split these with a chisel to represent cut firewood and made a small pile by the door of the shed and a larger piece as the chopping block I also found a white metal axe in my junk box and painted and weathered it and glued it to the top of the chopping block. By adding the small details to a scene the viewer will notice them, perhaps not at first but they do add interest and I noticed that viewers love to make comments on the things that they find, like further up the ridge a hunter returning to the cabin with a small deer on his back.
I heated the small plastic model deer in hot water until it was soft enough to move the legs etc to fold over the shoulders of the hunter then glued in place. A small thin piece of plastic rod to represent the rifle glued to the shoulder of the hunter makes it look real. On the cabin chimney I painted the top with grime paint to represent the soot and creosote from the fire. I added a female person in the doorway of the cabin and a small boy playing with a dog in the clearing.
I added a phone booth as an outhouse toilet against the trees from a different set to complete the scene. Model railway buildings. Paper model buildings. Printable model railroad buildings.

Fascinating proposal for a compact multi-level N-scale layout, intended to be built on a square-shaped table. See more. The N-scale Layout of Viktor views since 02 Jul Medium-sized N-scale layout featuring single main line with large passenger station in the center area, smaller terminus station in the upper left corner and also a hidden station in the back for storing of up to 3 more trains.
Very interesting project for a N-scale layout built into a dinning table and covered with glass. The track plan features two oval lines on two levels, connected with diagonal line which crosses a small town. Nice and very detailed N-scale layout project, featuring sea coast and mountain theme set somewhere in the U. Pacific Northwest with fishing and lumber industries. The track plan has single main line which passes via many tunnels and bridges and is suitable for both passenger and freight trains.
Small N scale layout under construction, featuring double oval main line and a branch with freight siding, terminus passenger station and turntable with roundhouse in the center area. Compact N-scale layout project with long main line allowing continuous run around a city scene and several industries.
