Scavenging Bits from a Door and Window Casting

I picked this window and door casting out of my windows and doors bin the other day while looking for odds and ends for an upcoming project. However, the dutch door seemed to be bit underscale. The door measures 2.5 scale feet wide, which is acceceptable and 4.5 feet high, which in most cases is way under scale. Although most doors measure 7 foot high, finding a door that measurers less than this is not improbable, however unless the structure is being built for darfs, 4.5 feet is not going to work. Not if you have scaled itens close by.

The windows on the other hand measure 2 by 2.5 scale feet (1/87 scale) which makes them usefull for an upcoming project.The door, well I will throw back into my collection of doors and windows and see what comes of it. Prehaps I will want ot build a wee little structure for darfs someday.

  1. As it's a split stable door, you could use it as a lid for a two box coal, ballast or sand bunker, trackside!
