Robin,

 

The completed building does look very impressive. It'll be interesting to watch developments with the turn-table bridge structure, operating mechanism and the control arrangements. I'm sure you'll keep us updated from time to time.

 

As a matter of interest, did you come to any final conclusions about the main shed roof trusses and the best way to model them?

 

Also, what happens to the open side of the shed (where the pits run off the edge of the base-board? Will this be left open or filled by the layout back-scene?

 

Looking forward to seeing progress at Scaleforum.

 

Regards,

 

Dave.

Dave, Not much progress on this but I did a drawing yesterday with the dimensions which I have sent to Morgan. I think the solution will be using etched components.

 

The shaped sheet of clear acrylic which was in position at the AGM will enable viewing of the inside. Maybe the shortened pit roads will need a sectioned loco or two:rolleyes:

Oh how i wished I'd come across this blog before going to Scaleforum 2010.........

 

As I stood and feasted me eyes on the glorious spectacle before me......overwhelmed by the attention to detail and the enormity of the task ahead. One could only imagine as I ponder what had gone before to get to this stage................now I know.

 

Absolutely Cracking Work so far.

Another Fantastic Layout in the making and one I shall avidly follow.
