Sr-Dixon Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi all, I stumbled across the canopy Alan Gibson make but just wondering if anyone has one and can advise on the width of the central arch piece, aiming to use it in N for a terminus but not sure if I'll need to adjust the platforms etc, Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren01 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi Is it not going to be out of scale? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sr-Dixon Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 I'm hoping that as its going over 7 lines essentially it should equal out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonman Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Try contacting the Taunton Model Railway Group as they were the ones who commissioned it http://www.ukmodelshops.co.uk/tmrg/ Failing that, grab a tape measure and head off to Bath... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 This might help, I've still got one etch left from the "kit" having made it many years ago as a complete station for a commission. The span is 250mm x 82mm high. I think you may find it too much for N gauge personally and you may ? have to purchase the whole of the etches just for these pieces. Please excuse the orientation of the photograph. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr-Dixon Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thank you believe it or not that's actually too short for what I need! Haha although saying that it could be made to work! Plus where else am I gonna find a decent quality canopy to essentially be 6ft long (would need to buy an add on) think I'll place an order soon enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
