Waynesville Terminal Ry - HO 80's
JAMO replied to JAMO's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads πΊπ² π¨π¦
This "kitbashing" took me a lot of time to complete: a January exhibition helps me to progress. This week of holidays is helpful too! This time, I've weathered the model by myself. My son is working on other stuff. A little photo: the crossing sign, my composition. -

My son is working on the scenery. He likes that! I think his work looks good. You can see the little front extension. The big building is under works. I'll come back soon to show you it.- 90 replies

Now the garage! I've drawn the 2D plan with a software. After that, I've printed and glued the paper onto a thin cardboard to make this mock-up: "the mock of the mock-up". This mock-up gives me the volume and the idea of this future garage. Now, I have to build it from wood.

Here news from the Waynesville Terminal! After a while to model French trains, my son came back to his US layout. The gang chief has done a track inspection After that, operation has started again with a new engine: A GE-70 and a GE-44 (2-motor version) and the Baldwin You can see a 1-inch extension in the foreground which help to take pictures when finished. -
What a nice photo! Full of quiet atmosphere!

Thank you Yes the tree is a composition of two kind of natural products: a forked branch for the trunk part and thym.
-
And then, the house positioned on the layout. The tree is only a try. I think it will hide the backscene.
-
Here I am. After a long time elsewhere, I'm coming back to my layout and the house. So, I've modified the house to obtain this size: After some work, I obtained this:
-
Yes, I think it's the only or the best solution to hide the hole. With a hedge and a fence, we'll can't see the trains are too close to the house.
-
Yes, this house is "square". My first idea to solution the problem was to use it as a garage like this. But I don't like. The roof pans aren't symmetric. The house don't matter my ideas. A possibility to keep this house at its location is to cut the walls to reduce the width, like that: I think this is the solution to my problem... I'll try... I hope it'll work.
-
So... I try again...
-
It's a problem because the house is too deep. No possibility. I could use it as the garage with the pumps but this house don't look like the garage I want to make. Yes, that's right. I've seen one on the Batten Kill RR: The enthusiast's home The scenery will hide the too close to the rails situation. I hope. The CN switcher corner is not bad too! And the curve seems very sharp! Waow! And I think it's possible to save a few millimeters by shortening the width of the house.

The location of this house is the foreground, to hide the "hole in the sky" when the track drive through the backdrop. I find this house too close to the track. It should be better with one or two inches less closer. My layout is too small
