Rethinking, rebuilding, and relocating structures are all part of Steve Brown’s major changes. Right in the midst of his efforts to scratchbuild an N scale industrial structure, of course. But that’s what the It’s My Railroad series is all about! In this episode, you’ll see our host employ helpful techniques to tackle challenges in assembling warehouse components and relocating the entire plant structure.

It’s My Railroad host Steve Brown states he’s a “regular-guy” model railroader, but his extraordinarily enthusiastic approach to building an N scale (1:160) layout certainly sets him apart! Only on Trains.com will you find exclusive episodes of Steve’s popular YouTube series, where he covers any number of topics related to his efforts in planning, constructing, and modeling his Brown-Smith Railroad.

  1. Nice modeling job Steve, good looking warehouse and ramp. Just a word about your concrete slab floor; there would be construction joints (a.k.a control joints) as you modeled to direct inevitable cracking but every twenty or thirty feet there would be expansion joints as well. Just running a very fine (like #3) black marker down those spaced joints would replicate the joint material (usually asphalt impregnated fiber material) that allows expansion and contraction without cracking. Nice roof surface, Thanks for sharing.
