A short brake with the painful 3D drawings

Yesterday, I found two Suydam Brass Interurbans in a model train shop in Paris - and bought them immediately. Suydam models are very rare in Europe and hard to obtain. So I have now a big Niles wooden 1907 car (painted green) and a smaller Chicago North Shore 700 (brass). Basic condition is surprisingly good, and I will start to clean them and remove paintings. Following the guidelines of Master Mechanic Dan D. Sparks , I will try a careful restauration of this fine cars. 

Traction Terminal Waiting Room

Some new views of my trials. The dimensions and details of the stone cornices and lintels meets not yet the final standards. 

"The building is designed in the Byzantine style of architecture and is very pleasing in appearance. The two lower stories are done in Bedford stone, with an imposing main entrance handsomely carved." (Street Railway Review, 15)

Also, the station is lacking tracks ;-)

Some tests and trials before modelling the buildings

The train shed is nearly finished. Some tests and trials before modelling the buildings.

Traction Terminal Shed - details

Some details are still missing in my drawings and in the 3D-model, like this X-girders under the roof. 

Traction shed roof inclination

For a long time, I avoided to calculated the exact inclination of the roof. I left school so long time ago. But today it was done : The exact figure is 29.191° .
