Station: Unattended small shelter (nicknamed "Dog Boxes") which where once plentiful around New Zealand. Not many remain now.
Built from NorthEast weather boards glued to a customwood base structure. Roof is corrugated cardboard. One of 4 stations that I built long before I even planned the railway. Two of them are larger and too big to fit on this railway. |

Hydro Power Station: This is the only building that permanently lives outside. It was built to provide a waterproof cover for the water pump which circulates water for the waterfall. The two outflow pipes from the building also spill water.
The building is constructed from 4mm Custom wood and corrugated cardboard for the roof. This is coated with Everdure Marine Sealant to provide a waterproof coat. The widows and door are 2mm perspex and open so that air can circulate to cool the pump on a hot day. |

Huts and lineside sheds. Made from various materials, but mostly custom wood. (people give it to me faster that I can build things from it). The first round-roof hut was built to cover the isolating switches for the yard. Subsequent huts have been built from 2mm plastic, to a much higher standard. |
