Scalescenes New Modern Factory/Warehouse Kit-Bash Build
#14
G'day again,
I've had some modelling time and now some computer time, but very limited at this session. Below is an update on the table-top module that I am developing for portable/storable Industrial Switching Layouts. The module is 150mm wide and 434mm long over rail ends (432mm over woodwork ends). It features 3 tracks at 33mm track centers (standard Kato Unitrack spacing) and has Kato Unitrack at each end to allow for joining the individual modules together. The height of the module wood work is 43mm as the end frame pieces are 40mm wide hardwood with a 2.5/3mm 3-ply plywood top. I had to do some patching with some balsa wood to clean up the right hand end after a slight miss measure/cut (note to self: measure twice, cut once!) It is quite likely some form of leveling/height adjustment will be put in, but the development awaits finishing this Scalescenes kit.
   
This concept of module draws heavily upon T-TRAK, introduced from Japan to the rest of the world by Lee Monaco-Fitzgerald. If you want to find out more about T-TRAK I suggest that you visit my Web-BLog and follow the various links there.
The primary sites are are:
Home site of T-TRAK: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.t-trak.org/">http://www.t-trak.org/</a><!-- m -->
Home page of T-TRAK in Australia which includes access to the extensive "Australian T-TRAK-N Guidelines " which features not only metric dimensions for module construction but also hints, tips and suggestions for a variety of aspects of building modules: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://t-trak.nscale.org.au/">http://t-trak.nscale.org.au/</a><!-- m -->
I hope to get updates on the structure out soon.
Please post some feedback if you are finding this thread of posts helpful.
