Group, I didn't realize how big the Atlas roundhouse really is !
I would like to shorten the length by 7.5 inches.
It will still house my engines. I figured out I can't cut any thing
Off the front it won't line up with the Atlas turntable so
I have to shorten from the back of the building.
Has anyone modified or kitbashed this building?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you

Tom

you might and want to try to sawcut (carefully) the long side pieces with a large powered mitre saw or shorten the sides by hand with a fine toothed saw. Score the point where you want to make your cut with a sharp razor knife following a metal straight edge/guide....then cut it by hand...Study how its going to tie into the back wall first and then decide where to make the cut.

Nick,

Thanks so much. Your advice is a big help.

Scoring first, thanks that will help make the cuts,

easier. I have several sharp razor saws and will hand

cut. The scoring will ensure a good cut.

 

I will double check how it will line up in the

back. Thanks again.

 

I will probably move ahead on this project next week.

 

Thanks, Nick.

 

Tom
