My trackside shanty was really easy to construct and for me, a lot easier than the Campbell kit (no instructions to read!). Also, my material cost was low - I used a small amount of Northeastern basswood siding and dimensional lumber that I had on hand, a scrap Grandt Line window, one Preiser figure and about $5 worth of detail parts plus paint and glue. More importantly, it was quick and fun to build!

Here are a couple of photos of the shanty after it was "installed" on the SLD module:

Effective weathering makes this brand new building look as if its been there for years and years.

"Planting" the structure into the surrounding scenery is the secret to making the scenes look real.
