Hi there,
I had posted this in DCC forum under one of my posts there, but was advised to start a new topic and post it here.
I am attaching a photo of the terminus end of my layout with its 3 platforms - 1 single sided and 1 doubled sided - for clarity.
I want to scratchbuild a platforms overall canopy. At the moment my plan intends it to be the complete length and width of the main platform and adjusted for the length & width of the shorter island platform. I intend to base it - very loosely - on the Peco LK-20X. Does anyone have any suggestions or photos/drawings of a layout for it. I want to make it a curved roofline with the highest point about 140mm to 150mm from the base. I am anticipating a shallow curve on the roof. Any suggestions would be most helpful. The distance from the base to the top of the signal gantry is 130mm - platform to the top of gantry is 104mm. The overbridge is not a problem, as the top is lower than the top of the signal gantry.
Construction materials will be Evergreen products, and clear acetate or plastic sheets.
Thank you in advance.
