N Gauge Fine Manual 1: Vehicle Depot Structures This book is packed with know-how for adding the functional beauty and impact of a "vehicle depot" to your model railroad layout, an essential element. It's not just for decoration; it's filled with technical and visual hints for realistically recreating the "hub of activity" where trains move, are maintained, and rest. From the construction of large buildings such as inspection sheds and locomotive service sheds, which are the main players in a vehicle depot, to the construction of detailed equipment structures such as fueling facilities, lightning arresters, mechanical washing machines, and the coveted pantograph inspection stands and washing platforms. In particular, for these structures, where there are few commercially available kits and self-construction is required, the book explains the actual structure while detailing a practical approach on how to faithfully and easily reproduce them in N gauge scale, with detailed photos and drawings. In the construction of large inspection sheds, detailed construction procedures for each part, such as side walls, roofs, pantograph inspection stands, and pits, are shown step-by-step, and techniques for painting and weathering to create a realistic texture for the buildings can be learned. This is a technical guide that is essential for intermediate and advanced modelers to enhance the appeal of a total layout, including not only placing buildings but also the expression of the surrounding scenery and ground, and the placement of vehicles and structures. 2016, Kigei Publishing, 25.7cm x 18.2cm, 64 pages #Other Railway Books Here #Other "Light Railway Narrow Gauge Lines" Here #Other "Discontinued Private Railway Related Items" Here #ModelRailroad #NGauge #Layout #Structure #VehicleDepot #EngineShed #InspectionShed #ServiceShed #WashingMachine #PantographInspectionStand #Pit #Scenery #Diorama #Construction #SelfMade #PlasticSheet #DetailUp #Manual #KigeiPublishing #RailwayScenery #Modeler #ModelMaking #RealisticExpression #ShowaRetro #JNR (Japanese National Railways)
