Wayne's N-Gauge Structures

As a diversion from tanks, aircraft and ships, I designed a few structures for my N-Gauge layout-in-progress. I designed the structures using TurboCAD, then exported the parts sheets to Model Builder to color the parts. Model Builder, for those who haven't used it, has a great library of textures for walls and roofs, and a pretty good selection of windows, doors and trims that can be used. It handles different scales and the final product can be printed to PDF files, as I did here. It has its idiosyncracies, evidenced by some of the "artifacts" on the parts sheets.

I uploaded three sets of structures - office buildings and a church, homes, and trackside structures.

Enjoy!
Wayne

Excellent little structures!

I, too, would like to see images of your layout.

I wish there was something to show.

My "layout" is a roughly 4' x 6' sheet of plywood with a 1x4 frame around the outside. There is a single N-gauge loop, and a single HO gauge loop (for a Christmas train). Nothing is fixed in place. We'll see if I do something with it while we are self-isolating during the pandemic.

I have drawn up several track plans using the Atlas software, but haven't done much with any of them. Our cat has knocked over most of the rolling stock that sat on the tracks, but the locomotive has survived so far.
