According to the drawings, the structure is a wood framed structure (in the Title Block) with a 7" thick poured concrete floor on 1'-0" x 2'-11" poured concrete footings. Some of the dimensions are difficult (for me) to read as they are quite small on the screen and enlarging them only serves to make them unreadbly fuzzy. But it appears that Mister SteamTrains has the correct documents with the necessary dimensions to construct his roundhouse.

I wish I could make out more of the details on that drawing! Having put myself though school working between classes, on the weekends and during the summers as a draftsman in an architects' office, I love looking at those old drawings -- there is much to be learned on those old prints!

Have at it SteamTrains! Give it all you've got! Based on the workmanship I've seen on this Forum, I'm excited to see the results! 2285_ 2285_
