I wanted to create a burning building for my garden railroad. I started with a PIKO building that I had cut down to make it narrow enough to fit the space available on the corner of Main Street, and a table top flame lamp Halloween decoration which uses fabric, a fan, and lights to create a flame effect. I cut plastic spacers to fit the fan so the flames would just extend out of the roof. These spacers hold the lamp at the desired height and provide unrestricted intake air. I installed frosted windows with signs on the ground floor so viewers could not see the fan mechanism inside. However, this restricted the airflow and the fan was unable to lift the fabric to create the flame effect. So I cut an air passage in the back of the building where it wasn’t visible to viewers. I cut a hole in the roof and heated it with a blow torch so I could bend the edge. It caught on fire in the process so be careful. The roof warped and I needed to flatten it while the roof was still hot add large stiffeners to keep it flat. I also added charred, broken beam ends with fine red glitter to represent burning embers. In the front of the building on the second floor I installed a broken window, and behind it, a fallen and charred beam with red glitter embers. Soot was applied to the wall above the broken front window. During the day, the building represents a burned out structure. At night the flame lamp makes a very convincing fire effect, but lacks smoke. So I positioned a fog generator behind the Main Street buildings, where it is out of sight, and I directed the fog to the fan intake in the alley way behind the burning building. The smoke adds to the fire effect. But it also adds complexity to the set up, and the fog can be difficult to direct where needed. I will generally use the building with the flame lamp and only add fog for special occasions like train club meetings.
