Hi All,
This probably isn't the best place to post this query, however this forum is probably as good as any other. I recently acquired a loco shed made by Model Power. As yet I haven't open the box, and I'm wondered how to proceed.
I'm wondering if any one has purchased or come across the twin deisel loco shed" (#1550) made by Model Power. See the link at
Twin Diesel Loco Shed<br>No.1550 - 1550
My first step was to look in the Walthers catalog/source book to see the footprint, and the information there is confusing. Walther's gives two footprints for this N scale model....
11 x 5-5/16" (27.9 x 13.5cm); 14-1/4 x 1-1/2" (35.6 x 3.8cm)
I don't understand why there are two footprints, unless it's possible to construct this model in two ways. Does anyone out there understand this, please? More generally the model seems *hugh*, and I wonder if these Model Power kits are easy to "kit bash" to suit requirements. As it stands such a large model won't really go "nicely" on my emerging layout, and I may just sell the unopened model on eBay if I can't find a suitable way to produce something smaller...
If you can please advise me then it would be much apprecaited.
Best -- David.
