Being relatively new to model railroading, I am building my first small structure/diorama to break into a layout one step at a time (and also because I don't have room for one). <br /> <br />I am building the Cornerstone Freight House and I want to mount the freight house and some track next to the loading dock. I find that to make the dock level with the box car floor I have to raise everything (building, dock) above the track which requires putting some sort of 'shim' under the whole scene. <br /> <br />So my question is . . am I being to fusy about this (height difference _ especially in N scale)? And even if the answer to that is yes and I forget about that, what material is best to mount the structure to so I can paint on concrete, driveways, etc? <br /> <br />Bill <br />San Jose, CA
