Book Description….
Todaythey have all but disappeared, but if your model railroad operatessteam locomotives you should have a proper locomotive engine terminalto service them. And if you have diesels, you should have either amodern diesel-era terminal or a converted roundhouse facility.
Pioneer modeler Ed Alexander long ago figured out that asteam engine terminal in O scale (1:48) done properly would be some22 feet in length, or roughly 12 feet in HO scale (1:87). Few modelrailroads including large club pikes have the luxury of dedicatingthat much space for such a facility.
Whatdo you need for a steam engine facility? Well, start with aroundhouse, of course. The roundhouse will require a turntable. Theexception would be for a small two or three stall building where thetracks could funnel into the service area. These structures could bewood frame or brick, depending on your locale and era.
Mostmodern diesel facilities are either brick or concrete. Some enginehouses are constructed of wood frame sheathed with corrugated steel.
Asidefrom the obvious shelter and fuel for your locomotives, you’ll wantto consider a number of outbuildings to complete the scene, includingpump and boiler houses, water tanks, ash handlers and conveyors, oilsupply houses, icing platforms, sand houses, section houses, yardoffices, warehouses, bunk houses, control towers and more.
Sincemany of the facilities we model no longer exist, we have dug backinto the archives of RailroadModel Craftsmanmagazine topresenta representative collection of railroad structures.
Use thisbook as a guide in planning your next addition, with many photographsand plan drawings to guide you. Learn the functions and historybehind many of these traditional designs, and choose the rightstructures for your model railroad.
