The standard kit designed for KHMs 9" turntables has 9.5" stall length to back wall. 

There is optional 3" extensions that increase the length to 12.5" stalls so you can use with our 10.5" and 11.25" TTs, as well as Peco and Atlas 12" TTs

Extra 9.5" stalls or 12.5" stalls can be added  order up to 7 stalls - contact me if you want more.

You do not have to have the same stall length - you can mix and match.

Variable radial angles to give you best fit for your space!!

The angle of the stalls can be set to match varying angles of the tracks coming from the turntable. This Roundhouse can be adjusted between 9 degrees and 19 degrees. Put simply: the larger the angle, the closer the Roundhouse can be to your turntable. Which means you can squish it into a small space. If you have larger space, and want to be able to park locos on the track in between the turntable and the roundhouse then you can set the roundhouse further back, using a shallower angle. The rear walls and roof frames are adjustable with this in mind, and the kit includes floor templates to be able to set the angles simply.

Backwoods??

This freelance design is shooting for the run down, clinging together, shoe-string budget look and feel of a backwoods railroad. Wooden board walls (likely many missing), crusty old iron roof etc. There will be stall doors, windows and sliding doors for the end walls as options, also lean-to and boiler room.

Instructions.

These take you through assembly step by step with lot of photos and diagrams.  Instructions include a section that will help to to plan angles and size need on your railroad.  This not a complex kit - there is just a lot of it!  There are no printed instructions included - this allows me to include a lot of content and pictures. Pdf instructions are sent by email at time of shipping.
