    Photo Gallery of things you have scratch built

    Hi all.

    This thread is for photos of anything that you have scratch built and would care to share with the group.

    For this thread the definition of scratch built is anything that did not start as a kit.

    So if you have built something from your own plans or from plans that you found somewhere else this is the place to show your work.

    As this is not a construction thread the scratch build should be almost completed before you post pictures here.

    So let us see some pictures of your structures, rolling stock, locomotives or anything else that you have scratch built here.

    I will leave this as a sticky and hopefully we will see many pictures posted here as I know a lot of you do scratch build.

    To start this off.

    Here is the Bait House from the F&SM by George Sellios that was built from plans that were posted at one time at the fsm Yahoo group by Jim Mooney.

      Here are two pictures of a structure that was built from photos of John Crane's house, Boston MA. found this in a book titled old boston photos and scratch built this in HO scale. I have added another structure to this diorama of another old building from boston will take more photos and post.

        John,

        This is a great idea. I think I will try to find pictures of them in chronological order (the few that I have).

        This was my first effort. It was from plans I found in the February 1973 issue of Model Railroader.

          Scott,

          Very nice scratch build you have there.

          I would most definitely like to see the additions to the diorama.

          Also have lived the first 63 years of my life in Connecticut and having made many a trip to Boston, I can say that there are many great structures in that city that cry out to be modeled.

          Bruce,

          Very nice for your first scratch build.

          I may post my first one which is not too exciting.

          However we all have to have started somewhere.

            Scott,

            I meant to ask since not only is your model impressive but the collection of yellow boxes in the background caught my eye.

            Are those full waiting to be modeled or are they empty meaning that you have constructed them and maybe could post some pictures.

              Well these aren't new but they are scratchbuilt, it's a small repair shed I made last year:

                That work shed looks great. And the first effort also looks great.

                In the vein of "we all have to start somewhere", here's the stack of lumber I assembled last week from coffee stirrers and some basswood.



                Figured I could set a low standard so nobody else would be hesitant to post their stuff.

                  That is a good looking stack of lumber.

                    David,

                    Looks good and could find many uses on any layout.

                    I bet it was also inexpensive to build.

                    Nelson,

                    The shed looks really good.

                    Do you have more scratch builds that you could post for us to see.

                      Some very nice work here to be proud of.

                      Here's a few of my old H0 total scratchbuilds.

                        Great topic. I love to see scratchbuilt items. Here is my contribution:

                          Guys, here is a scene in N scale that is completely scratchbuild.



                          Just changed to a much better picture.

                            Nice work guys.

                            Shamus, only little red "X" for your pics, are the links broken?

                            If and when I finish wiring my layout, I will turn my hand to structures.

                              Boy, after those latest great entries, I am almost hesitant to add this one. I build it to add to my sand drying house about the same time that I built the unloading ramp.
