| Barbecue interior from scraps. |
Overplus interior: A miniature building interior that is built more-or-less exclusively from scrapbox items.
Usage: All buildings along the front edge of the layout were outfitted with overplus interiors.
Source: Jackie Hole's article, Overplus Interiors, in the June 1998 issue of Railroad Model Craftsman, is the first known use of the term. The article explains how to detail the ground floor interior of an HO scale hotel.
The caption on one of the article's photos succinctly captures the essence of the overplus interior: Overplus equals leftovers.
