Indianapolis Traction Terminal - The Train Shed redrawn

Click twice to see biggest drawing
I have redrawn the train shed truss, more detailed, with a better precision, and riveted. Not less than five six different L-profiles were used for the trusswork. From 3.5"x3.5" up to 6"x6". The different profiles are indicated by colors.

The scale of the basic drawing is now 1:72 or one computer point for one inch. All figures are recalculated to inch. Fractions are rounded up or down to 0.25", 0.5" or 0.75"  (I think this is enough!).

The pdf of this blueprint will soon be available for download. Next step is the new drawing of the five inside trusses and of the longitudinal girders. And than a patient work to built an entire 3D-model of the whole train shed. A lot of iron ...
