then you will need to do a bunch of "fudge factoring" on the sizes.
Would never thought Triggy to do that...

Brian:
If you have a nice "square on" photo of the structure than do the following. For 1:20 scale, resize the picture until the freight door is 4.5 inches tall. For 1:22 resize the picture until the freight door is 4.0909 inches tall {call it an even 4 inches}. When you print these "plans" they will be to actual size you need for your GRR. Unfortunately, they will print on multiple pages so you will need to do some "cut and paste" to form a single page.
If your picture is not "square on" (as is the case most of the time) then you will need to do a bunch of "fudge factoring" on the sizes.
The most important thing either way is to end up with something you like and that will fit in the available space.

Well I have looked online and havent been able to find a depot to my liking so I want to try and build one... I want to build a model of the RGS Dolores depot somewhere between 1:20 and 1:22. No idea where to start, been looking at lots of photos of the depot online and in books
I was thinking to start maybe build it out of cut up cardboard boxes and then use that to get all the measurements to make it out of wood
