NORTHERN PACIFIC RY.
90 ft. BRICK ROUND HOUSE
STANDARD PLAN of 1910
No other structure says "RAILROAD" like the roundhouse. The Northern
Pacific Railway's engineering department created this standard plan 90 ft.
brick roundhouse in 1910 to serve its growing fleet of steam locomotives.
C. C. Crow has re-created this same structure for you in museum quality
HO scale.
The fine scale brick walls feature my hand-scribed brickwork cast in White
Hydrocal with artistic detail no machine can match! Add the optional pits and
floors and you'll have yourself an even greater model. You can add as many
additional stalls as you like to the basic three stall kit.
The kit features prototypical windowed engine doors made specifically for
this project by Central Valley Model Works. Custom triple-hung windows by
Grandt Line Products were also done for this model.
The roofs are constructed board-by-board over full-size templates with
laser-cut Northeastern Basswood. Complete step-by-step instructions are included
with painting and mortaring techniques fully explained for outstanding results.
A very limited run of "Deluxe" versions have been manufactured with the
brick detail inside and out by carefully milling and mating two cast walls
together in a scale width sandwich.
We are working on a 48' x 96' brick Back Shop addition for light engine
repair and maintenance which can stand alone as a Car Shop or Engine House.

| SPECIAL NOTICE: as of May 2007 |
One of the original side wall molds finally gave out
so I have renewed the entire set, but note that the new rubber I am using shrinks less. On most models
the difference is negligable however because of the length of the roundhouse it becomes signifigant.
Nothing to worry about if you are buying a new kit BUT if you are fitting additional stalls or adding
the pits and floors to an older model take note. Let me know and I will advise if it's something we
should consider.

Standard Plan Configuration
The standard (prototype) design is based on a sixty-stall circle with six
degrees per stall requiring 133'-9" from turntable (TT) center to engine door,
plus 90'-0" of structure or about 31 actual inches total in HO. Each stall is
23'-9" wide at the far end. Engine doors are 13'-0" wide, plus 12" posts, for
14'-0" centers at the doors in all cases.
Stall Configuration Reference Calculations
| Angle | Stalls | Length 1 | Length 2 | Width |
| 6° | 60 | 223'- 9" | 133'- 9" | 23'- 6" |
| 8° | 45 | 190'- 3" | 100'- 3" | 26'- 6" |
| 10° | 36 | 170'- 0" | 80'- 0" | 29'- 8" |
| 12° | 30 | 156'- 9" | 66'- 9" | 32'- 9" |
| 15° | 24 | 143'- 6" | 53'- 6" | 37'- 6" |
Standard Plan kit is based on sixty stall circle. In all cases door (plus post)
width is 14 ft.
I really don't recommend this but I know some of you are short on space. Two
wider rear wall options allow construction in shorter spaces however the cast
Pits and Floors are not adaptable as they are cast to the specific angles.
Materials and instructions are given for modifying the clerestory and expanding
the roof (which is not laser-cut for these options).
Sorry, no retro-fits as this involves a completely different lumber count.
Please add $10.00 per stall for either option.
