Hello fellow model railroaders,
I'm a newbie to this hobby and just completed the track work on my first layout. When it's done, I hope to have an urban setting with a downtown area, similar to New York or Chicago.
At this time, however, I can't really afford to purchase any kits, especially for tall building and skyscrapers. It would also be nice to have a Union Station situation somewhere in my design.
I could really use your help with suggestions on how to create what I need with styrofoam and cardboard, especially the train station. Are there any websites with cutout patterns and instructions for making structures, especially for skyscrapers and the like? What are the best tips for approaching this endeavor?
Thanks so much for your replies.
