Pacific Electric "Twelve" in scale 1:450







Pacific Electric "Twelve" is passing in front of the Indianapolis Traction Terminal. He never did? He did, on my table! (Scale 1:450)

Traction Terminal Building in T-scale (1:450)


My first attempt to create a real model of the Terminal Building. This is a scale T paper model (1:450). Not so bad.

Indianapolis Traction Terminal, with some tracks and switches

A track laying gang have done some work.

I have no drawing who gives details about the exact position of the trackwork in Market Street, unlike the freight terminal tracks in Ohio Street who are well-documented.

But I made the tracks with the same elements: Curves of 45' and 50', and switches with a 45' radius.

Some (virtual) Niles Interurban spare parts

3D drawing drives me crazy ;-) .

This side panels are made of one standard element that could be "cloned" several times to obtain a car of a given length. Windows are "functionally" and could be raised into the gothic sashes.

 The monitor roof is still a challenge, as it would be a vintage MCB "high speed" truck.
