Title: info on engine sheds
Post by: NewYorkCentralgirl on August 28, 2008, 11:09:01 AM
im fairly new to the hobby but always a dieheart nyc and up fan.  Im building an engine shed 24 by 20 in which i believe should give me room for 8 tracks and length clearance for big boys and challengers.  My layout is a freelanced and fictional junction of the union pacific and new york central.

also needed is suggestions on the switches i should use dividing the tracks to the engine shed that can accomadate the big boys, challengers, and niagaras with their tenders

By engine shed - are you planning a rectangular building or a roundhouse?  That 8 track part sounds like a roundhouse. I'm not sure what you mean by switches to divide the tracks.  Do you mean a way to move trains or to turn on/off the electric current to the rails?

im actually going to use a transfer table and make it slightly smaller, and it is rectangular
any pictures or information on the design etc would be helpful
