Big Tom isn't what you'd expect. He's all of 5 foot 1, and that's when he's got his boots on too. But his heart is huge, and every railroad needs a character like Big Tom to keep the folk smiling and the wheels turning.

His timber store will pretty much suit any model railroad, but just don't expect to see Big Tom through the windows, you'll be lucky to glimpse the top of his hat.

You also get the wooden platfrom with this building, but you don't have to use it if you don't want to. That's the thing about these printable building - you can do whatever you want with them, and make as many as you want too.

Like all the printable buildings, this one is HO scale. For N scale, just reduce the print size to 54%, it's as easy as that.

What I like best about this building is it is really easy to make, and a lot of fun too.

Have a look at the youtube below and you'll see how easily it comes together. Just don't expect Smoke Joe to help.

And here's a short youtube showing you how easy it is to make this printable building:

Here's some more pics of Smokey Joe's lock up:

Now because this is a new building, I haven't got any pictures of it on any of your layouts. But here's what it might look like. It's not a real pic, it's ai, but I quite liked it:

Of course, I'd much rather put a real pic on this page, and as soon as I get one sent in, I shall. Until then, if you look really closely, you can just see the top of Big Tom's hat through the middle window.

See next building
