Found this on the IRS website. I love it.

Just need to get some 10mm square softwood and lots of sheets of corrugated plastic or been tins. (for my wargaming buildings I used corrugated card, but that wouldnt last a minute outdoors).
But its a little cracker!

One of the first rules I learnt with garden railways is NEVER throw anything away! Kitchen drainers, the plastic ones, can be used as an overall roof for a station, or the support for a tin roof on sheds. the list goes on. Old computers yield small screws and other bits.
Lead me not into temptation,for I can find my own way.

However the advice is absolutely solid. A member of our local 16mm group has just built a very long beautifully constructed curved trestle bridge probably over 20ft in length and all from and old fence he replaced. Tantalised timber and all free. I have just returned from a short break with a pile of empty coke cans in the boot ready for corrugating and building construction. Advertising signs are also good, made from a variety of material. I have a 3x 4ft redundant sign made of 5mm aluminium sheet that was going to a tip and loads of plastic faced foamboard.

Tantalised timber.is timber that has been treated so it wont rot .it goes in to a pressurised room the air is sucked out and any moisture in the wood then tanaliseing is released in to the room and the wood sucks in in ....iv seen this being done its quite amazeing .the wood should last 25 - 30 years + if its tantalised .
Tantalised timber is that amazing stuff that never rots or decays, sadly it's just out of reach of us mere mortals
