..--- Roundhouse Raised Roof for Traveling Crane ---

I'm not sure how many but some roundhouses had an overhead traveling crane to use while servicing locomotives. I wanted the option for a little more character to be added to the roundhouse so designed a raise roof section that will go over two of the stalls. You could have more than one section of raised roof if you wanted but at this point they aren't designed to butt up against each other although that might be able to be accomplished with what you have here with some cutting and gluing.

=========================================

Disclaimer: I have not printed these parts myself at this point so please if you do take the time to comment on if they fit and maybe send me a picture or two to add to this page and/or on thingiverse.com, thanks.

There are only two files you print. The one above and the next one. You would glue this to the roof you would make out of something like sheet styrene. Cut some holes in it if you want to have light from below come up into this section or any of the skylight sections.

This about concludes the files for the roundhouse. I'd appreciate comments and/or pictures if you take the time to print any of the parts.

You can find the print files for this raised roof section ( HERE ).

The following are two images from Rob C. of his print of the roundhouse raised roof option shown above.

Thanks for sending the pictures Rob and I'd like to see any other pictures of what others have also done with the roundhouse build.

NOTE: This concludes the files for now (01-25-21).
