Looks cool to me! :cool: How much? And any samples kits to be given out here just to get some members attention? :confused: I would be sure and post build pics here if I were to build one! ;) :thumbsup:

Sweeeeet....:eek::thumbsup:

Reminds me of the kits of old from Scale Structures Ltd. back in the early 70s...

Thank you for kind response. Still in the works, adding more detail, changing some of the dies around. It'soing to be a total HO scale building. We can work with early adopters.

Wouldn't this be better in the Product Promotion forum?

The description of that forum...

If you are a vendor with a nifty product please post here!

Agreed. He actually had two duplicate threads, one (here) with follow-on posts. I've moved this one to Product Promotion, and deleted the other (duplicate) one that was there.

Hope you don't mind the consolidation, Matt. Nice structure ... best of success with it.

OOOOHHH! I want one. Looks nicer than the others that I have seen out there so far. Looks older than the more modern one's made today. Are these going to come premade or as kits? if the first i would suggest makeing it so the roof is not attached to the shed walls so modeller can remove the roof and add in machine shop details and such. Or you could add a note somehwere in the instructions before gluing the roof on that this should be done.

What are you thinking for the tracks? The user just places there own track in during construction? May I sugest depending on how it is done that the wood flooring currently on it (will this be replaced with plastic?) That you could mold the meatl tracks into the floor itself for more realism.

Here is a pictue of what I mean.

Will I be able to add a 3 stall onto the 6 stall or a 6 stall onto a 6 stall Just a thought. Also it would be neat if you could come out with some different types of turntable that are currently available, maybe and older style?

One more thing i noticed in the picture that the backwalls upper support pieces are jagged to each other, is this being fixed? I would suggest that it is cut instead of at a 90 degree angle like current a 120 or what ever degree would be required to get a nice smooth snug fit.

It is looking great so far. Can't wait to get my hands on them.

Thank you for your kind response.
-They can come both ways pre-made or kits, normally kits.
-The roof will be removable so you can see the inside detail.
-At this point we are going with Atlas track. They will be concealed.
-You will be able to go up to 20 stalls by adding 3 stalls at a time.
-We can design a turntable for this, in the meantime there are many turntables that will work with this.
-We are working the moldings to be a snug fit, thank you for noticing.
