SceneCraft

Model train shops provide detailed buildings, but they
are weird scales like 1:76 or 4mm to 1ft. This is due to
the gauge of track, but that doesn't really help brickwork students...

Anyway, here's some examples of different buildings


Out House No 42-046     Image from: Railway Model Shop
Tradition method of construction with load-bearing brick wall and slate roof. Notice the door thresholds and soldier bricks above the windows. There is also a barge-board and fascia


Under Construction No 44-024     Image from: Railway Model Shop
Model of bungalow, showing internal blockwork, external brickwork, insulation, roof trusses and scaffolding


Modern Industrial Unit No 44-049     Image from: Railway Model Shop
Example of modern construction method, with Portal frame roof. This is a steel structure with the brickwork acting as a non-loading skin around the building


Site Office No 44-055     Image from: Railway Model Shop
