Fiddlers Green Paper Cutout Models for Model Rail Road layouts

Fiddlers Green Paper Cutout Models for Model Railroad layouts


HO AND 'O' modelers are by far in the majority but can still cash in on the great Fiddlers Green value for money. You can use these little treasures in (at least!) three ways: Enlarge them on a color copier (see guide) and spray glue them to cardstock or light balsa. Down load them as cyber models. Just hit the HO scale button when you order. We'll be having all the buildings on a CD Rom soon making it so much easier AND cheaper for you. If you have a large enough layout, they serve good purpose arranged in the background. For example, the western buildings can set up as a little ghost town nestled in the mountains. Cut them in two and paste to the background scenery (see below). Scroll just a bit further to get to our Conversion Table to different railroad Scales.

Panoramagraphs are very large, fine art prints from very high resolution digital panoramic photographs. Many of these will print 3 feet by 12 feet. If you'd like the very best custom background to set off your model RR layout, visit Steve Mizera's panoramagraphs.com..

You'll see there's a huge number available and, because with Steve it's a labor of love, you'll be plesantly surprised at how reasonable they are..

N Scale
Glue a little stretched out (and grayed) cotton wool into the chimney for smoke.	Most Fiddlers Green buildings come in a folder already formatted in the three most popular scales: Z, N, and HO You can buy a serious whack of them and because they're so easy to put together you can populate your layout in a couple days. To really stretch your modeling budget, cut them diagonally and paste them against your background. Be sure to check out our boring Industrial Buildings that were especially made for a grimy lackluster Industrial Estate.

Adam Pierce sends us these three photos of a bunch of FG houses that are (we couldn't believe it!) 'N' scale! Nice going Adam. Thanks for the photos!

Instructions on how to do multiple step Photocopying
You just might come across a photocopier that goes to 142% or 150% (which are good numbers when you think about it), and need help going from N scale to HO scale by multiple step copying. Here's how to do it....

Set your copier to 142% and copy. Then take that copy and copy it again to 128% and presto, you have an HO scale model. If possible, see if you can rotate the model 90 degrees between copying steps to minimize possible X-Y axis distortion.
