Loading... Please wait...When you have a tiny space on your On30 module, with a short spur from a 5" turntable what do you fill it with?
The open-sided critter shelter! There is no need to hide away your Lokkies!
Overall footprint: 4" wide, and 5" long.
Internal loco space: 3 1/2" wide, 4 3/4" long, internal roof frame apex is 4" high
Want longer to fit a Shay? buy 2 kits!! Want even longer to put some stock under cover in a siding? buy 3 kits!!
Highly versatile kit good for bashing: why not plank up one side? You'll need to supply your own wood for that!
* birch ply laser cut roof frame slots together.
* bass wood posts
* bracing wires with brackets. wires are steel piano wire so they stay straight and add structural rigidity.
* Industrial 6" rib corrugated roof. rolled from 0.15mm aluminium. it forms easily to the curve. The prototype model has been treated with Ferro Chloride for a rusty roof, but painted roof is easier!
Assembly instructions included with kit.

Simple in its simplicity, yet with maximum appearance.
Detailed instructions and the included bending jig for the wire make building easy.
Another great kit from Simon, well done and thank you!

Nice kit, followed directions sort of but it still came out looking great, will hold critters and small locos. Looks great along with the turntable.
