Got a big sheet of cardboard from the basement and started some testing. The prototype dimensions would be 90cm*32cm (35"*12"). The cardboard prototype is shrunk to 40cm*20cm (16"*8") supporting two 50' boxcars and still a dominating building.

The prototype walls are covered with corrugated sheets. I am unsure how to do that at the model. There are similar plastic sheets locally available but it would cost a fortune to make/plate the entire structure from those sheets.

Another concern is the rear track behind the structure. It must not be covered to prevent problems during switching (uncoupling etc.).
