New challenge : the 9th floor of the Terminal Building

There is no 3D without a good bi-dimensional drawing. This is already very tricky with all this lintels, arches, columns, parapets and ornaments...

Thank you Mr. Burnham for complicating my life :-)

New arrivals in my library

On my first trip to the US - but not beyond New York City - I found the very fine Jerry Marlette book "Indianapolis Railways".

This book contains some information about the Traction Terminal that I missed, specially about the trackplan and the freighthouses, including the mysterious 4th freighthouse between Market and Wabash Street.

The big wooden combine is a still undecorated styrène body.

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.
