A street of 10mm (N Scale) Graham Farish kits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At Barrage 2015 I picked up three Graham Farish 10mm (N scale) railroad building kits. \u00a0This weekend I finally took the time to assemble them. \u00a0While my assembly wasn’t perfect, I think the final outcome is passable. \u00a0With more practice, I think I could do a better job.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The box for one of the Graham Farish kits<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is what the kits look like in the box. \u00a0There were apparently many different kits at one time. \u00a0I got these in a flea market, and I have not looked to see if they are still available.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The building blocks as they come out of the box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When you pull them out of the box you get a bunch of these building blocks that have to be cut from the sprues and trimmed. \u00a0You get some instructions, and you get several sheets of facades to be applied to the building blocks. \u00a0I suspect these kits were quite old, but the gummy backs on the facades was still quite strong. \u00a0They are not die cut, so you trim the backs from the sheets, peel off the wax-paper backing, and stick them to the building blocks.<\/p>\n

They assembled quite easily. \u00a0You almost don’t need the instructions. \u00a0 There are some extra facades, so you can do a bit of customization. \u00a0The facades are meant to be photo realistic, and look pretty good once assembled.<\/p>\n

There were even a couple of extra bits so that I could make these small sheds \/ garages.<\/p>\n

On the whole, while a little large, I think the effect is good. \u00a0I really like the middle kit in the top picture that had the three stores. \u00a0The buildings will look okay in 10mm games and also some 10mm near future \/ science fiction games.<\/p>\n
