Engine house for a 2-8-2

[ulf999]

Hi all!
I'm looking for an engine house for my Mikado (29cm, 12").

I like this kit, but it's only 10,5" :cry:
Branchline Trains

Any suggestions for a similar?

For a Mike you want something a little more substantial:

Like this one from Walthers:

Or this one from Vollmer:

This one from Campbell:

Or this one from Heljan:

I think you're going to have trouble finding a wood structure the size you want - they tend to be built for smaller locos... switchers and narrow-gauge and such.
Of course there's nothing stopping you from starting with a kit you like and adding to it...

I scratchbuilt a wood two stall enginehouse for my layout using CPR enginehouse plans. It's 16" long.

Ulf, I like the Walther's 2-stall Squidbait posted. It looks right to me.

thanks guys. I have the Vollmer one, but I thought it looked too European...
