  • On30 backwoods roundhouse
  • On30 Roundhouse, rear 3/4 view
  • On30 Backwoods Roundhouse. Roof and frames. As the kit development stood 26th August 2016.
  • central spine roof corrugated iron in place. This is KHMs "industrial corrugated iron" (rolled aluminium sheet) treated to a bath of ferric chloide soltuion for various times. No weathereing powders or paint on this - just straight out the "dip" and washed thoroughly. gives really "crusty" look for a neglected shed roof.
  • I made the rear roof removable - because you can!  front could be done the same way, but not the central spine - something has to hold the angle!!
  • central spine roof fitted with smokestack and hoods.
  • This proto showing a Forney in the centre stall has been built with a 9" turntable in mind. the radial angle here is 19degrees, but the framework can be built from 9degrees to 19degrees, In simple terms: the larger the angle, the closer the Roundhouse can be set to the turntable.
  • Frame work gives LOTS of options for windows/doors openings. on end stalls and across the back walls.
  • rear frame options  - windows, doors, or full engine doors for straight through tracks. (ya never know!)  the door options are done by cutting through the framework.
  • large single sliding door option. can go in end walls or centre walls. One in the kit, extras can be bought separately.
  • One single sliding door can be fitted comfortably in the back wall of a centre stall.
  • stall doors can be fitted in the back walls to give an option of driving the track straight through. (well ya never know!)

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 are be stall doors and sliding doors options available separately, also lean-to and boiler room options in the building depot part of the website.

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.
