That's really impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. I still can't imagine the finished building, but I do admire your use of (to me) a new material and techniques. Ian Thanks, I have a general idea how to do it, but not everything; so step-by-step idea will evolve during the pr...

Thanks for the explanation, I think I am more understanding of your intentions now. I guess the windows will only be scribed on the main frontage to indicate accurate positioning? Looking forward to more. I already have the window/door frames, so these cutting were measured slightly larger than the...

Rik,
Yes, it is leveled now; the building is weathered naturally after staying outdoor for a few years. I hope to see it lasts until the next decade.

That raised section is a nice piece of work, the Stainz was running quite smoothly so it looks like your track is fairly level.Nice to watch, thanks. Thanks, it is indeed very fun to watch the train running on the new construct every evening. Sometimes, I look back and surprised that I could do tha...

I spent the weekend to build the elevated railway. The original bedding was built on wood; after 5 years, they got rotted, and honestly speaking by that time, I was not knowledgeable enough to build a good bedding for the tracks. This new one is made of all PVC material, the tracks were recycled fr...

I have been watching this thread in the hope I might find something I can understand.. so far that hasn't worked! I am way out of my technical comfort zone with this project and need some additional information about your plans. As far as I am aware Plexiglass is clear stable material which you app...

I agree with Bazzer that loks impressive. I must admit I don't know how it goes together but I certainly look forward to seeing the build and finished building. Ian Thanks for the comments; but I am still working on it. In the past, laser cutting people accepted pdf file but now they need a vector-...

More or less finished the landscaping and re-ballasting of the station area so here are a few pix of the sawmill and gantry crane in their natural setting. A view from the end of the sawmill sidings.

The wood train station building I built 5 years ago nearly comes to an end; the wood got rotten to the point things are going to fall apart very soon. So now, I am planning for another structure; this is my plan for a multiple building block that I assimilate from Holland buildings; it will be about...

Looks good to me :D Well done. Yes, it is much more better than the previous construct; this system is robust, easy to build and stable. I don't have to worry about rotten wood issues as we have so much rain in here in Nashville; everyday can be a raining day. After 5 years, every wood construct is...

If it works that great news, but I like Rik would put a spirit level on the track just to make sure. Also it would be an idea to put it widthways across the track, as you may find it could be curving out or in, both a recipe for falling off. At the height it is, it wouldn’t be any good for your loc...

I like the stream of water; I attempted unsuccessfully to make one in the past. What is the power of your pump?

Rik, I learned this construction technique from Ron Karlsson. Yes, the legs are telescopic, I can adjust the height by raising up or down. I guess, the leveling process needs two persons and we have to undo several legs at one time. It's challenging for a one-person job. Probably, I will call my da...

Interesting idea. Not sure about the levelling issue. Are the the legs telescopic - ie does one section fit inside another? If so, that could give you a method for adjusting the height.

The POR has not received much attention as the staff have been occupied at the Llewellyn Locomotive works. While listening to the ODI the S&T department gave some thought to the lever frame and cabling. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4756/25949338528_703464b4ed_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/...
