Metcalfe Models Terraced Houses in British Railway Modelling


Another project in British Railway Modelling magazine for me (Ben), this time a rather fun build of the new generation of Metcalfe Models terraced houses. My commission was to construct and personalise the kits. 



This was pretty much where the 'build according to the instructions' bit ended, and the fun began...


Basic interior details, and lighting from Christmas Tree lights.


There's a painfully detailed, as ever, account of the build on the model-making blog. And in the mag of course, please buy the mag and support non-AI generated, proper hobby publications!


Personalising each house was rather fun. This one was based on ours.


Then a house for sale.


And the Dreaded Kids Birthday Party. Again, all based on where we live now, and where we lived up in Carlisle in a street not unlike this.


Quite a big diorama built for this one, because it's intended for another article early next year.


And in the mag, looking good as usual thanks to the talented design team at BRM.
