Roundhouse

[usmcdj]

I am looking for a Roundhouse that can handle the length of a 2-8-8-2 or a 4-8-8-4 Steam locomotives with tenders in Nscale, and what kits offer the capability of making a 10 plus locomotive stall roundhouse that can be added onto for a growing stable of locomotives. All of the locomotives will be steam, and in nscale.

I hope it won't just be my ignorance showing, but I don't believe you'll find one commercially. In know that in the popular HO world I have yet to see one that will house even a NYC J1d Hudson in any of the bays. The tender sticks out by about 10 scale feet.

Unless I am just not sufficiently informed, I would expect you'll have to find plans and build your own from scratch.

I hope you get more replies. Mine may not turn out to be very helpful.

All hope is not lost! Walthers has a roundhouse with add on stalls available at http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3260. It will hold 145 scale foot locomotives. I think that's pretty close to the length of many of the medium size articulateds. You're not going to fit a Big Boy in but it might work for a lot of other fairly large locomotives.

Hey guys, I wanna thank you for your prompt responses, and I will do some research on how many scale feet I can get into the roundhouse, and if there is a way to make an articulated or big boy in there I will certainly let you know. Thanks

Union Pacific big boys had a total length (engine&tender of 133ft 9" :)

I looked up some of the locomotive stats and all of the locomotives I will be using will fit in the roundhouse. Thanks for your reply it was greatly appreciated.
