I'm really hoping that Bachmann is using the Vollmer Roundhouse as the base of Tidmouth Sheds to give it that real TV Series look.
Hm, let me think, oh right? Vollmer is an entirely separate company from Kader, and Kader would face lawsuits like Sanda Kan, if they were to use another companies  toolings to make a profit. That sounds like a great idea, right?

Well, what would you suggest they use as a base to make it look more like Tidmouth Sheds then an American Roundhouse? 

Vollmer is a german brand so it would be... It wouldn't look like a german roundhouse.

How about the design of a standard English loco shed ;D
They will do new tooling for it as they don't have a turntable in the catalog
so the two will be made to go together.

A model railway can be completed but its never finished

I thought I saw an English engine shed in the Walthers Flyer... Also, you can find plenty of turntables for fit your need.

Keep an eye out, www.walthers.com

Early in the morning,
Down at the station,
All the little engines
Standing in a row.
Along comes the driver,
Pulls the little lever
Puff, puff! Chuff, chuff!
Off we go!

Anthony P2

OK I'm sure theses qeustion have been asked a hundred times so sorry for repeating them
1. is this a pre-assembled kit or will in need to be assembled
2. I've seen on a few other web-sited that the kit is all brown, will it come that
     that was or will it be pre-painted.
3. does it use the EZ-tracks with the grey road bed
4. what is the overall size of the sheds with turn table so I may plan to add it
     to my layout.
I hope to add this to a shelf layout I have been building in my son's bedroom and as you can guess he is a huge Thomas fan. Thank you so much for making these products. I'm sure he will enjoy them form many years to come
