I seem to have spent a huge amount of my spare time just lately, on research.
Especialy finding materials & kits suitable for 1:35 railroading...
...which has almost zero commercial support.
Have been looking today at parts & kits from 'other scales' which might work in 1:35.
The UK manufacturers 'Wills' & 'Ratio' for example, have quite a few interesting items...
...which are ideal for 'up-scaling' from OO/HO to 1:35.
I thought I would start at the beginning in the Mysterious Moose Mountain thread with this research.
I hope that this information might be of use to anyone else railroading in 1:35, either now, or in the future.

Have also spent quite a while getting the foundations for the enginehouse right.
The Tamiya walls shown earlier are being doubled-up, for the main foundation.
This new kit is going to be used for an 'under construction' critter-workshop extension to the main enginehouse (pix. to follow).
The Italeri kit is very nice indeed.
Spent all last night 'de-spruing', cleaning-up & experimenting with the parts.
It's NOT compatible with Tamiya bricks by the way.
Very useful for 1:35 railroaders I think.
Oh ... & a MOOSE !
Some things have uses...
...others are just 'mooseless' !
Cheers.

After the usual amount of urmin' & arhin' (quite a bit)...
...pretty much got the enginehouse 'footprint' nailed !
I do have a kinda overall plan for where it'll sit & how much space I've got...
...it'll do; & it now fits with the new Italeri brick extension as well.
So started glueing up the Tamiya brick sections by running MEK into the joins.
' a quick perfect fit '
(ha ha ha !)
I just noticed it says on my scrap paper...
...Mmmm.
