That is some serious engineering feat! Looks amazing...and only another 2 to do...class, pure class!

Very impressive work, Robin, and attention to quality. Some might even have taken the 'easy' way out and had them etched...

 

I agree with Mike, that is wonderful to behold!

Superb. It was clearly worth the effort - and something to think about when you do the next two :-)

 

The jig is very clever too - simple but effective.

Robin,

 

Good to see an update after quite a while. I agree wholeheartedly with the previous comments - you look to hqave achieved a wonderful structure. Have you tried it in situ on the shed building, yet?

I saw Liverpool Lime Street at the Warley Show, and your roof assembly reminds me of their rather magnificent station roof.

Good luck with the other two assemblies. This sort of stuff makes my efforts look rather mundane!

 

Cheers,

 

Dave.

Brilliant workmanship! The jigs are great and you've certainly got a lot of patience. The effort put in now is going to pay massive dividends in the end.

Looking good Robin. Info on rooflights sent by email today.

Hi Dave,

 

Not tried it on the shed building yet as the layout is dismantled. I will need to cut 22 new slots in the top of the side wall and fill the 13 laser etched ones when I get around to it.........

 

You're a bit further on with Delph - congratulations on running some locos on your layout.

 

Cheers,

 

Robin

That's incredible. And there are THREE like that? Plus the workshop roof?

 

It's nice to see this blog again.
