The DPM site is good - it also has templates of all the building parts they make. If you have access to a photocopier, and some cerealboard (cardboard from ceral boxes) you can make yourself some pretty good mock-ups. They can be coloured with pencil crayons or dollar store craft paints. If you make them too good, they may be there for a while!! [;)] While you are at The Gauge site above, look for structures built by "Matthyro" - he does all his N-scale stuff with cerealboard and other readily available materials. Wood "craftsman" kits are another way to go. It's just like scratch-building, but someone has assembled the materials and plans for you. You still have to do a fair degree of cutting and assembly. The advantage is once you're done, you can get more supplies and build another... Good luck... and practice, practice, practice! Andrew
