I have made a start on this model but to date I haven't got very far with it due to other commitments. The model will be in O gauge either cardboard or plastic card possibly a mixture of both. I have drawn up the experimental parts for the roof,seen here I also took a couple of photos of the assembled parts.

This photo best illustrates the curves of the roof so this was my guide for producing the drawing in inkscape. After much adjustment I finally got the curves right. The end panel was basically a triangle with a very slightly curved base line and sides with slightly more pronounced curves. The roof section had to be supported and I achieved this using sections with a straight base line and curved top, all this mounted on an oblong sub base. I then cut these on my silhouette cutter and glued it all up, as seen below.

I wasn't happy with the quality of these sections, they certainly wouldn't be good enough to use, so more experimentation is required when I have more time. I'll post up the progress as and when.

 

cheers for now

If you want further info on the Booster locos, I would suggest Southern Way Special no 11.
