The roof will be very interesting!

Yes getting all the cut lines for the roof correct will be interesting to say the least.
But first I want to get the walls and the rest of the building together.

Wow. Looks like I have somehow missed quite a bit here  :innocent:

Yea, it happens to all of us. I have not touched my trains for almost 2 weeks, so yea......
But that is the great thing of the hobby, just carry on again......

Awesome work Jörg, really looking great.
The Signal Tower have a awesome position now.
Oooooo, The Faller Car System, will be very interesting...... I like that idea.

Nice Building and idea, will make for a very nice street scene.

Enjoy and have fun.

Car system route is also coming together.
First grooves have been cut to place the steel guide wire.
A return loop has also been made, must still fit this to the layout.

Good morning,
the building is coming together.
Walls are now completed.
I also did the complete wall of the first station platform.
Just can't get this into one picture.

Measure once, cut twice.  ::)
Or was it measure twice and cut once.

Well I measured, made a compass to mark of the hole for the turntable
and got out the jigsaw.
Looks just about like a perfect hole.

The hole needs to be 340 mm in diameter and mine is 320 mm. O:-)
Oh well I just had to make some more saw dust.
Then I also fitted the separate base for my working Faller coaling station from the other thread.
Just need to set the height correctly as the thickness of the plywood is different.

Hi,
today I cut out some more of the roadway.
Now I need to make the actual road.
Also the first extended side wall of the signal tower has been done.
Enjoy.

Aloha,
spent some time trying out different track configurations for the loco depot.
This is my current set up. Will leave this for a few days to see how I like it.
Seven stall round house.
Still put in an extra siding as well.

Some more.
The gaps in the rails at the moment will be sorted later when I do the final
assembly, will use some flex track and cut to length.
