Norm C's roundhouse | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

KitbasherOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Everyone here probably knows about Norm Charbonneau's layout. Does anyone know how he made the exterior of his round house? I've included a photo of it. I am scratch building my own because I couldn't find a kit as big as I wanted. But I am having trouble finding 3D brick (not just printed paper) for the outside. I tried the scale plastic sheets and was gluing them to sheet balsa wood. I wanted the wood visible on the inside. But the plastic just warped the wood and peeled off after a while. Any ideas?

I build em… but only the kits. Altoona kits are excellent and the Korber ones are a close second...

That is my old roundhouse on my old layout which Mike CT identified. My new one is a custom configured kit by Altoona Model Works.

For 3D plastic brick sheet I’d suggest searching for Plastruct or JTT.

@Mike CT, I saw a post from you 3 years ago with photos of U channel you used for gutters. Do you know where I can find that?
