Oh yes! This IS of interest! Even if i dont say so, I am following your progress and the Op was amazing...

Re: 1/35 Scale SJ 891mm Project
Looks very good. I seem to recognize some 600 mm decals, is there something more narrow in the pipeline?

Re: 1/35 Scale SJ 891mm Project
Not imminently, but I had the information to hand and used them to fill the sheet. The next sheet will also include standard gauge decals as the plan is to build a transporter wagon if I can get enough information together. When the transporter wagon will be completed who knows as the Op has taken 10months to build!
We currently have a number of jobs on the go at the moment, the major jobs being:-
1) Lay up 4 plus spares Y01p cab ends in GRP
2) Continuation of the build of the Z4p loco in brass
3) Finish the build of the Gp van - again this has taken in excess of 10months to build
4) Finish the build of the N1 wagon - awaiting brake gear detail images
5) Developing a track plan and drawing up templates - Medium turnout is 520mm long heel to toe!
6) Develop a prototypical but 'automatic' coupling solution.
This is in addition to all the other jobs and distractions!

Re: 1/35 Scale SJ 891mm Project
As I am now on Christmas Leave from work, and that the weather here has been so poor of late I have been in search of something to keep me busy.
Admittedly there is still work outstanding on both the Gp and N1 wagons, however I need to pluck up the courage to continue...the Gp has a lot of fine detail work to complete and the N1 still needs the fabrication and completion of its brake gear.
So to keep me busy I have started to build a small (!) loco shed. This is the first building I have built in the scale and thus would be a real test of how big some of the buildings would be, and ultimately help visualise how bit the layout would be.
Seen here in very early build the shed (based on the drawings of the Karpalund Shed available on the internet) inspection pit have been constructed and the initial elevations for the building positioned. An internal wall is still to be located as can be seen from the white spacers inside. Within the voids of the walls fibre optic leads will run from under the base to provide subtle and hopefully atmospheric lighting. Doors have been scribed out of plasticard and the bolt heads are Plus Models.
Seen here with the Op (still yet to finish painting, pipes and couplings!) sat in the shed over the inspection pit. Doors are placed only for the photo.

Where did you find the drawings for the Karpalund shed?

Re: 1/35 Scale SJ 891mm Project
As the weather here has been so poor of late I have been in search of something to keep me busy, in the warm. Admittedly there is still work outstanding on both the Gp and N1 wagons - small jobs either spraying outside (far too cold) or are too fiddly (lack of good day light)
So to keep me busy I have started to build a small (!) loco shed. This is the first building built in 1/35 scale and thus would enable some appreciation of how big some of the buildings would be, and ultimately help visualise how big the layout would be.
Seen here in very early build the shed is based on the drawings of the Karpalund Engine Shed found whilst searching the internet. The main structure has been constructed using Daler Rowney photo mount card and plasticard spacers. A loco inspection pit has been constructed using a combination of wood and plasticard, which when positioned in its final location, will be submerged into the layout base.
The shed doors have been scribed out of plasticard and the bolt heads are Plus Models etches as used before.
Some time has been spent trying to find prototype images of the shed to identify the type of wooden panelling used in the construction of the shed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any, so taking inspiration from a number of traditional Swedish wood construction buildings, I have replicated the board and batten method. Referring to the drawing this appears to be the closest method of construction.
The Wall boarding, is cardboard and the battens are a 1mm x 1mm strips of square section plasticard "Plastic-Weld'ed" in place on the cardboard surface. The use of Plastic Weld was chosen as it evaporates fast and thus does not soak the cardboard.
It also evaporates out of the bottle at a rate of knots too...
During the build, I wanted to try and see how well the recently produced custom decals worked against a dark background. As the barrels would be quite at home in the shed, I quickly whipped up a couple, painted and applied the decals.

Re: 1/35 Scale SJ 891mm Project
Its been some time since the last post, and even longer since I have been able to find the time to do any real modelling.
Over the last weeks I have been able to find the odd five or ten minutes to do a bit more work on the Gp van. Seen here the only items remaining for completion are the fabrication of small details such as hinges, handrails and clasps to all the doors. Once complete the final application of decals can be undertaken and weathering can commence.
One small item I am unable to confirm and would welcome any input, is that on some photographs a small vent is positioned centrally on the roof...is this a later addition?
