I've made a couple of items for the man's N scale train layout.
This one is a warehouse for offloading items. Made with cereal box cardboard and covered in cardstock that is colored with prismacolors, the photo is not great, it is drawn with a tiny brick grid. The double doors show one partially opened on this side, the other side they are closed. The roof is cereal box too but just painted with silver & brown acrylic craft paint. The shape of the roof is like some buildings here in CO, made so the snow falls off easily.
This is an old time passenger car. The basic shape the man cut out of styrofoam. I refined it by sanding with a nail file and added the top window portion they used back then. Painted with silver acrylic and detailed with black sharpie. The sides are cardstock cut to fit and colored with prismacolors. He added the wheels. It sits next to a 3 story hotel that used to be in this town - the RR actually ran beside it in order to let passengers board and unboard. As you can see he's trying out things for landscaping.
