I tried a couple of scales, but I since the clearance over the track is
so high, I went for this one, since it doesn't look too out-of-sorts.
I was aiming for a liver-and-tan colour scheme, which works fine in Real
Life, but rendered a little funny, and I didn't want to spend more than
an hour on it.
Needless to say, You Can't Get All Those Pieces In Liver.
I thought the 1/2 stud recessing of all the walls was cute. I'd point
out that I really did incorporate 1x2 plates with 1 stud to support the
offset. And there is a ridgepole in there to support the roof.
Speaking of roadplates, Calum, do you still have those ones I lent you
for the station?
