Scratchbuilding How To Books?

[nachoman]

Do you know anyone that has old (very old) issues of model railroader magazine? before about 1970, there was a scratchbuilding article almost every month. Is there any particular type of car you want to scratchbuild? I have done many in HOn3, and it really isn't that hard. Something simple like a wooden flatcar would be a good start. But in all honesty, the absolute best way to learn is to buy a craftsman kit from somebody like labelle. Those kits are basically a pile of raw materials and instructions. The kit will teach you ways to construct cars, and from there you can make your own out of raw materials and a set of plans.
