About

About me

I have been building a model railway in my attic for most of my retirement, and I still add a little to it every week. A layout is never finished: a village here, a goods yard there, a hillside that needs more trees. Along the way I found that the part I like best is the buildings, so I started drawing my own.

Each kit is a printable sheet of a small building, made to be cut out of card, folded and glued. They come in all heights, from a low platform shelter to a tall church tower, so a row of them looks like a real place. I also teach the way I work, in two video courses, and I write a short letter every other week about what is on the bench.

Questions

How do the downloads arrive?

After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Each kit is a PDF made to print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper, or on thin card, with the cutting lines and folds marked.

What scale are the buildings?

Each kit page says its scale and gives its finished height and footprint, so you can check it against your layout before you print.

Is there merch?

Yes: tees, totes, mugs, prints and stickers with my own drawings of buildings and trains. Each is printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.

How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?

One every other Saturday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.

Do I need to have built a layout already?

No. A kit stands happily on a shelf or a windowsill, and the first course starts with nothing more than a printer, a knife and some glue.
