Fat Bob always has a smile on his face, no matter what life throws at him. And don't let the state of his store house fool you, whenever the maintenance crew need anything, they know Fat Bob will have it.

His store house is the heart beat of any railroad, it's rusty, weathered and old, but it doesn't leak and does the job.

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:

So I wondered what Fat Bob's store would look like on a layout, so here it is. It's not a real pic, it's ai, but it gives you an idea of what the buildings look like until I get sent some actual real pics.

And just so you know, when folk do send in pics of the buildings on their layout, it makes my day. And I know we'd all prefer real pics, but it's a new building so it will have to do until someone sends in their handywork.

See the next building
