Laying Campbell Shingles

Model Railroader Layouts and layout building

Mike’s idea works, I’ve done it that way as well as the folded brown tape. I prefer the folded tape, no top gap using the folded tape.

On my last scratch build I tried Styrene shingles, they turned out pretty good but as long as I can get Campbell shingles that’s the way for me. I’ve even put Campbell shingles on Styrene craftsman kits on top the Styrene shingles.

Like I said before, I use square stripwood that will fit in the valley at the ridge between the two roof peices, once stained it blends right in.

I used kraft paper and Elmers, which as far as I can tell is grocery bag paper. The color is almost the same.
