Colleagues,
A new scenery item is ready for download: a modular roundhouse kit for the US turntable or other turntables with 32 exits. With this freelanced model you can build roundhouses in the sizes of min. 2 to max. 31 stalls. A full-circle, 32-stall version will be possible some time in the future, as soon as I get around to adding a run-through stall segment.
Download is here:
http://golden-age-rails.com/scenery.htmlAnd some pictures below.
Have fun with it!
Cheers,
Michael

Oh man, thank you, but how can you do so much things? There have been 3 items released by you in one week.
But I don't complain. Fantastic.

Hi,
Sorry about the missing doors... should be fixed now.
The number of uploads, yes, there have been a few lately, but a lot of that stuff has been under develpment for months or was only quick modifications of existing models. Building the roundhouse took me only about 6 hours though, it is really not a very difficult building. (If anybody is interested, it's one 'pie slice' of a flat (2-D), 32-corner ring object, extruded upwards and then molded into its basic shape of one stall section, roof added, windows punched through, and painted.)
Cheers,
Michael

I especially like modular objects. This one will be perfect for Clifton Forge where I can model it to a period by the number of stalls on the roundhouse. I think maybe they've torn it down in sections over the years as I've seen pictures of everything from a full round house down to 3 stalls standing alone.
Thanks again going out to the [prolific of late] Michael. Unlike me, it looks like he's on an artistic high right now!

Gorgeous work, Michael! I'm particularly impressed with that interior view. If you threw that in with photos I've seen of actual roundhouses it'd be easy to miss that it's virtual...my compliments
