Re: Layout in a boxfile #106a

I found that for this particular ¡°Layout in a Boxfile¡± file, that when printing on an HP 8710 Office Jet printer set to 8.5 x 11 paper, if I click either the ¡°Fit¡± or ¡°Shrink oversize pages¡± options in Adobe Acrobat, I get a print that scales 1:91 ¨C close enough to HO scale for me¡­.

Always draw a little scale both horizontal and vertical before Xeroxing as a check for scale as copiers are not accurate.

If you want to change the scale you could print at 7/8 ie 88% for HO or 50% for British N etc. It would no longer be the size of a box file but would that matter.

I¡¯ve built a lot of buildings from Scalescenes, and can endorse them as excellent.?

?

They are self-print kit, designed to be printed onto A4 paper, then stuck to cardboard of various weights, cut and assembled. They¡¯re fairly sophisticated, designed so as not to show the edge of cardboard, and to wrap around window and door recesses, and to build up multiple layers.

?

They normally do models for a variety of scales but this one is only in OO scale. I¡¯m sure it would look fine with HO scale.

?

Like Chris I have no connection with the supplier apart from being a (very) satisfied customer

Hi,
ScaleScenes are a British company producing card model railway kits for buildings and structures at various scales. They are mainly British scene but some of their industrial buildings would not look out of place anywhere.
Recently they brought out a complete kit for an industrial layout to fit inside a boxfile:


I thought this may be of interest to the Small Layout Group.
I am not connected to the company, but I have bought and used some of their products on my layout Jenswell.?
