Between all matter of book projects and
The Bonefolder I'm glad to be getting back to the railroad. After
the corner by my small harbor, it became time to set my eyes on my branchline station and neighborhood...

Siedlungshäuser from
WS-Lasercut will replace the Schreiber houses. The difference in scale is scary. Though originally packed close together, putting three here will make things too tight, so I'll likely opt for 2 with more space between/around.
Unless something changes, all structures in this area will be card lasercut kits. It's been really interesting building these - interesting in a good way. The fit is really good, and the level of detail they can get amazing. None of the plastic shine either, though all will get some weathering and other detailing.

Kits assembled to date... |

The stellwerk and magazin (garage/store house) are by
Moebo, the kiosk by
Joswood. The magazin I may convert into a small station with a waiting room and storage... Then again, may scratchbuild a small station or use one of the "
Wartehaus Sellin - Ost" that I just ordered from WS-Lasercut.

Building the kits with removable roofs so that I can detail interiors... This is the
Trinkhalle/Kiosk so ubiquitous in the Ruhr and elsewhere.
