HO Scale Freight Shed

A very compressed HO scale model of the Grand Trunk / Canadian National freight shed in Kingston, Ontario. The prototype was 300 feet long, which would be 41 inches (1051mm) in HO scale, so I've selected key elements from the shed and created a model where the parts will fit on a 220mm × 220mm print bed.

Parts are separated for easy painting or for printing in separate colours.

The kit includes two sets of wall parts. Use the "top" and "bottom" parts to print the walls in separate colours to get the two-tone colour scheme common to railway buildings. If you want to print the walls as single parts, use the "one-piece" parts.

The kit includes two foundation parts. My brick foundation is not found on the prototype, but I just really like brick foundations. Use the "plain" foundation to better represent the simple board skirt that was likely found on the prototype.

The roof is intended to be finished with your preferred paper-printed roofing material, such as shingles or tar paper.
