Hi all,
I've spent some time playing around with ideas for my roundhouse.
Today I made a first mock-up of one of the side walls.
Using a Vollmer roundhouse wall as a template I made it a bit higher, and also placed less windows.
The windows are bigger thou.
I have also altered the roof line.
Maybe I will get some more cardboard and build a complete mock-up and see how I like it.
The windows.

Now I need to order some more.
In the meantime I'm also considering the actual structure of the round house.
I have ordered a few items from Auhagen, they have a very nice "building blocks" system
with different walls, windows and roofs.
Length wise it doesn't work for me see first photo.
But I also have some Faller wall sheets. perfect length, but then I will have to make my own
window frames.
Busy considering different options and ideas.

Hi all,

I want the track in the round house to be closed so that the workers can walk across.
These grids from Weinert are Nickel Silver so conduct power.
I soldered three pieces together, nice and straight using my home made solder jig
from a few pages back.
Add a fine wire at one end and glue very carefully with small amounts of CA to the 1,5 x 1,5 mm
strip styrene that I had glued to the track ties.
First photo of the long grid.
Second photo of it fitted.

Nearly four years since the last post here.  :lamer:
Somehow with me working on the layout all the time this project ended up in a box stached away.
Yesterday after cleaning my work bench a bit I decided to pull this out of its box.
Sorted parts which I had received after packing it away.
I now have the first handrail loosely fitted, still one more hole to drill.

 built Mia a play kitchen.


That is far more important, your kids are young only once. I'm sure that her look of happiness
will stay with you forever.
Before you know it the kids are grown and out the house.
