Station Roofs | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

All,

I just wanted to share the project I completed over the weekend. A few weeks ago, there was a thread about 3D printing and I had posted that I had 28 columns printed for install in my passenger yard. This weekend I completed the install. I put in the columns, and then took 90 degree brackets and bent them to fit the 60 degree column top. For the roofs, I got baseboard that I liked the shape of and mounted them to the brackets. I painted them dark green. Lastly I took LED lights and attached them to the roofs and then wired them into a 12 volt transformer I purchased. I really like the results and the shine the lights have on the silver cars.

Enjoy.
