Korber RH Query

It contains information on the #304 roundhouse including a dimensioned floorplan,

Thanks Jan.  

I did just that.  First, there are no links that I could find on his site to the floorpans.  Second, when I did a google search, it pulls up floorpans only for a 32" TT.  Presumably, the 28" RH I'm thinking about will require different geometry.

The floorplan is one of the images.

The roundhouse is just a segment of a circle that has a radius of 60" or 5 ft.  So you will need almost 7 feet long.

Jan

Jan,

Thanks so much for this image.  Just so I'm clear, it looks like there is 5" of track length between the TT and RH in the image? 

No, there will be over a foot of space between the edge of the turntable and the front of the roundhouse.  Kit 304 is a large roundhouse and supports big engines.  Korber made a smaller roundhouse, Kit 220.   I don't have dimensions for that one.  It would set closer to the edge of the turntable.

You might want to look a the Atlas or another manufacturer.  It appears that the roundhouse sits about 6" aqay from the turntable.

Jan

Ok, thanks again.  Well, it's good to know the Atlas RH is a fallback option.  Was leaning toward either the Korber or ideally the Altoona version.   Need to look at the dimensional considerations very closely and see what can be done.
