A hole in the wall X4 - a liftout bridge (page 12)

[TrainNut]

Well guys, I've got this area at the back of my yard where a track pops through the divider into the scene. It's rather awkward and I've been looking for a suitable building to help bring the track in with some dignity.
Here is the scene...


Rather awkward as it is. Sooo, here recently, I came across this building. It was prebuilt and cheap. I found it at kind of a yard sale. As soon as I saw it, I had some ideas as to how to make it work...




First thing I did was to very delicately stick it on the chop saw and VERRRRY slowly and carefully, split it in two.


I figured since I picked it up for pretty cheap and it was already in rough shape, I didn't have much to lose. I then cleaned it up a bit and slid it in place for a test fit...


Looks like it fits. Tonight I laid some cork underneath to raise it up just a bit for some more clearance and then I've got to add some windows and other bits to make it part of the scene. Still a ways to go....
