Title: Model of a beautiful wooden platform from early 1900s
Post by: martin t on January 19, 2018, 02:33:09 PM
Hi! This week I've been making a model of a beautiful wooden platform from early 1900s. The construction is not very complicated or demanding.
The total work time for a 700mm platform was about 8 hours including integration on the layout.

It looks really neat. Great work. Have you thought about scoring some cross lines in the individual "boards"? Like a scale 8' or whatever length they would have used.

The beams were spaced at  one centimeter intervals so it would make sense to make the cuts at 4 or 5 centimeters and offset the next row by one centimeter.
since the end points should be nailed to center on the beams . I am not sure what would have been the length of pre-cut  or standard lumber at that point in time and at that place . John2.
