Hawkes:
Don't let the fact you have no scratchbuilding experience deter you. Don't over-think the project. There has got to be a place in your layout plan for a small shack or a sand or gravel dump pened in by some old ties. Think of something modest, small and useful in your scheme. Thats all there is to it.
If you are absolutely stumped for ideas, go through your stash of old magazines for something useful or draw on your railfanning experience. Something will popup, it always does.

In case no one has noticed this is a dead thread from over a year ago ... there is no scratchbuilding contest.
