RTM loc depot

[Henri]

Rainy day so I started scetching the loc depot I want to make. Based upon some old photographs I found online. The right proportions is the key to realistic looks.

34 cm wide, appr. 50 cm long and lowest point 22 cm. Haven't figured out the heighest point yet.

Of course it will be made of wood again.

Nice project. If I read your drawing correctly you are allowing 150mm from rail top to bottom of door beam. That may be enough for your current stock of locos but it may not be for future purchases. Just a thought.

 

[Henri]

That is actually 19cm

 

[idlemarvel]

Your writing is worse than mine then!
190mm should be enough unless you plan to have overhead catenary.

 

[Henri]

The 19 is in the top left corner. It has a question mark behind it.

Yep, Thanks!

Work has started. I got myself a Proxxon tabletop saw and what a joy, straight and even cuts!

A concrete foundation in the making. Lots of molds. My Son just said: so you throw this away when finished? Yep...

Surely you can reuse the moulds for other buildings?

 

[Henri]

Theoretically yes indeed. But most of the times it just doesn't fit.

This is the idea:

Concrete.

A little progress.
