Scuttles and Bridges from O-Scale Train Cars.
« on: September 12, 2015, 01:46:48 AM »
Another batch of terrain finished up.
This Time I made 2 Scuttles and 3 bridges, mostly from broken O Gauge train cars.
As usual, full details on the blog here:

Scuttles.

These have turned out to be quite useful pieces that block figures and small vehicles, but with a rather narrow footprint they don't take up too much table space.  They also give some justification for some of my industrial terrain that had spouts and dumps that until now didn't go anywhere.

One of the Bridges.

I've been building alot of vertical terrain with useable upper areas. These are great for turning those upper areas from simply being towers to climb into a truly multistory battlefield.

Indeed. Good stuff. If you have a limited space for your gametable, and think most of us are in that situation, one of the solutions is going up. Creating another level will give more variation and fun ;-)

Thanks Guys!
Going "up" is definitely something I've been doing more of. Both for compact Necromunda layouts and also for larger layouts making alot of tall buildings to provide cover for the 28mm (5-9") Mecha games we've been running.
