QuoteBernd,

Thank you for the kind and very generous compliment. I need to get back to posting more updates on the A&S RR.

You're welcome. The biggest one that amazed me was the "Ovilix". ;D And how you did your two-tier layout. Many good tips there.

Bernd,

I read somewhere in one of your threads that you plan on making steel I-beams for a build, just not sure if this build is the one. Would you be making a mold to pour them in resin?  Just a thought. Carry on, nice work!

Rich,

Ya, back on page 4 post 51. I show the beginnings of a four stall Suydam engine house. Instead of using a wooden frame I was think of using "steel beams" (milled brass to HO scale specs) for the buildings inner structure. Kind of like the Navada Narrow Gauge engine house shown below.



From what I can see through the windows this structure uses metal beams with the corrugated siding attached to it. I've been looking for specs on what size steel beams are used to build the frame. Plus, how they would be laid out to hold up the building. Haven't found anything yet.
