Re: [CBQ] N scale Burlington depot - complete (for now...)

Landon -- it's part of the T-Trak layout at the National Train Show.  I'll be there Saturday and Sunday but the depot's there all weekend.

I realize that larger footprint scale models really aren't what most people think when they picture T-Trak, but I think it was a perfect canvas for the depot -- near scale length platforms and sidings, only omitting the express/baggage sidings on the south end.  Hopefully it inspires some others to think outside the box as well.

Great job! I remember this depot well. Will it be at the National Train Show?

Subject: [CBQ] N scale Burlington depot - complete (for now...)

 

Thought I'd drop a few photos of this in here since it's complete (at least until I rebuild half of it...)

A year and a half ago I started CAD work on the Q's depot in Burlington, IA -- I'd road tripped past it, not knowing it was there, and fell in love with it - as a primarily Frisco prototype HO modeler, I didn't really have a use for it, but I figured I could do it in N...

I spoke with Dave Lotz last year at the St. Louis RPM meet and learned a lot as well as from the BRHS's Burlington book.

I was recently asked if I could complete the depot and put it on a module for the NMRA's 2022 convention in St. Louis -- so here it is after a crazy month of 3D printing, construction, and a whole lot of help from some friends.

I realize some dimensions and features are wrong -- I already have a V2 planned but there just wasn't time for it this year.

Happy to talk about the building and 3D printing if you have any questions!
