Thanks Tom , and yes cooler weather is better, you get more things done and you sleep better.

Wow , haven't done anything in this topic for so long.

Painted a few DPM/WS shop fronts , they will become Mainstreet Belleville. It will be a low relief backdrop.

Some photo's of interiors I got from the internet and printed on photo paper.


Choosing different sizes and different interiors for my shops.


First I glued the fronts to a clear piece of acrylic sheet , then I glue the photo's to the clear sheet and add some curtains.


Then I glue the whole to a piece of black polystyrene sheet.

Next up a bit of roof and sidewalls.

Jan...........

You are getting close to my thread for interiors.

Go to scratch building on this forum and go down to paper interiors.

They are really easy and you have some great starting photos.

see ya

Jan,

Love the interior photos in the store fronts. Nice touch to bring them "alive".

Thanks Curt , Bob, Tom and Greg, much appreciated.  Bob your interiors look great , but in N-scale it's hardly worth it , just too small , besides that , this row will only be 2cm , 3/4 of an inch deep.

OK............ you got me ! ! ! !

Either way this is very cool.

Thanx

To connect the 2 decks of my layout and the 2 yards I will be building a helix.

My helix will consist out of 8 pieces of 4mm thick plywood , that together form an octagon, much easier to saw then round pieces with almost no waste of wood.


Using the first piece as a jig I'm making 58 pieces to make 7 1/4 loops.








First loop with the ramp starting on the right side , each loop will climb 6,5 cm in about 260 cm of length making a gradient of 2,5% , with a radius of 16 inches , in total climbing 18 inches. Almost all my engines , except for maybe a UP Big Boy and Challenger should be able to cope with this.


The loops still missing a straight piece in between to connect them , after that is done I will begin with the risers.

Jan...

Understanding that N scale does not weigh much........ how far can a 4mm span go unsupported before you see some sagging?

Great stuff here.

Thanx
Bob

I will start by supporting it at every corner, and see if that sags or not , I've tried bending the 4mm ply and seems to me N-scale trains won't bend it at a length of about 30cm , remember an H0 engine is about 8 times the weight of an N-scale one. I think a bigger problem is actually that N-scale is so light , I'm hoping cars won't be pulled off of the track going up in a curve.
