RMweb Premium PaternosterRow Posted October 2, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 2, 2011 Link to original construction thread: http://www.rmweb.co....255-pump-house/ The original idea was to create a building with an unusual interior. Beam engines have always fascinated me and an old photo of one caught my eye on the hunt for inspiration. The beam was created from cardboard, the piston, slave and pump cylinders were made from cardboard tubing. The outer walls are all scratch built using Scalescene brick papers with the windows from Brassmasters. A boiler house was also scratch built along with a rail fed coal shute. Use was made of different colored sweet wrappers around the lights to create an orange glow from the boilers. The main steam and slave cylinders before the front wall went on: The interior is lit by a small battery operated string of fairy type lights: A view of the beam on the first floor: A view of a stoker feeding No 2 boiler: A view of the coal loading chute adjacent to the boiler room: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
