SNAILWAYS BUS DEPOT - Lunde Studios

SNAILWAYS BUS DEPOT - Lunde Studios

Depot Front Entry

Depot Bus Boarding Area

Depot Back Loading Area

This delightful model is sleek AND fun. Its many elements bring visual interest and liveliness to any corner of your town or city. Walls (including low “block” perimeter walls) are cast in matte-finish, light gray-blue with darker gray-blue accents, windows and doors. Full-paned doors enhance the front entry and the exit to the boarding area, and windows are multi-paned. The sidewalk and driveways are concrete color. The back loading dock area has a pre-colored roof, so the only painting is to color the other roof areas black. Included are cast-in details on roofs and walls, separate columns, A/C unit, vent, billboard signs, posters, marquee signs and clear window material, as well as text and photo instructions with a footprint drawing to show where everything goes.

Okay, so these are technically Dolls House Plans.... Perhaps not what your were expecting?

Measurements on plans are in Inches, so will need  scaling as desired.

With a bit of extra effort I see no reason why this couldn't be used as is for scenic purposes, or  adapted for use a a station?

Art Deco Arnos Grove London Underground Station and Bus Garages - Kingsway Models

Futher to todays earlier post, investigations have revealed more usful kits from the 30s.

Although these will be of more use those modeling a layout loosely based upon a London theme, they are both interesting and of the period.

British Art Decal Stations and Signal Boxes.

British Art Deco / Odeon Style Stations and Signal Boxes - Bachmann / Graham Farish

Bachmann (Europe) (Also Available under the Graham Farish brand) have released a number of cool looking 1930s era Station and Signal box structures in the Art Deco "Odeon Style" as used widely, but not exclusively in the Southern and London Transport regions.

The main building is an art deco station that is representative of many found in the Southern area, but looks to be modelled on the Sudbury Town station.

The platform sections are based upon those found at Harrow-on-the-Hill, .

There is also a Signal Box to complement the stations buildings and resembles those at Dorking(North), Bognor Regis and Templecombe.

As these items were released sometime back they have started to fizzle out, therefore a bit of searching will be required to track down some of these items....

42-064 Art Deco Signal Box 118 x 40 x 42

42-065 Art Deco Platform Centre Building 85 x 58 x 39

42-066 Art Deco Station Building 132 x 67 x 51

42-067 Art Deco Platform End Building 60 x 58 x 26

42-068 Art Deco Subway building 85 x 58 x 26

42-074 Art Deco Bus Garage 

Odeon Cinema (Low Relief)

I find this a really nice item, perhaps those outside of the UK will be less familiar with this cinema chain and their use of the Art-Deco in cinema constructions. These were after all the new theatres of there day providing access to the glamour of the 'movies' from Hollywood etc..

In the UK, it also has a nice tie-in as some of the design motifs of the period were also incorporated into the designs of their buildings ranging from the Stations to Signal boxes. A search on google for 'southern railway  odeon style' will give you an idea.

Scratch Build a Art Deco Billboard Frame

Scratch Build a Art Deco Billboard Frame

Whilst these are based upon US prototypes, I have to say they do have a passing resememble to some of the bill boards in the UK Southern Railways Region. Certianly on the lines from Waterloo to Guilford via Surbiton and from Clapham Junction out to Richmond there are strong Art Deco Motifs.

Although in the UK, I would say that you could remove teh wooden framework as the examples i have seen tended to be along side stations and level with the trackside and made of concrete not wood. I dont think the wood vs concrete is a significant issue as the form factor would appear to fit either material?

Schienenzeppelin N / Rail Zeppelin

made by KATO/Hobbytain

The train was built at the beginning of 1930 in the Hannover-Leinhausen works of the German Imperial Railway "Deutsche Reichsbahn" company. The work was completed by autumn of the same year. The train was 25.85 m long and had just two axles, with a wheelbase of 19.6m. The height was 2.8 meters. As originally built it had a BMW VI 12 cylinder petrol aircraft engine of 600 horse power driving a four-bladed (later two-bladed), fixed pitch wooden (ash tree) propeller. The driveshaft was raised 7 degrees above the horizontal to give the vehicle some downwards thrust. The chassis of Schienenzeppelin was designed aerodynamically having some resemblance to the era's popular Zeppelin airships and it was built in aircraft style to reduce weight.

The interior of the railcar was spartan and designed in Bauhaus-style.

1/160 USA "The Pioneer Zephyr"

1/160 US Steamlined Locomotives! The Pioneer Zephyr

The Pioneer Zephyr is a diesel-powered railroad train formed of railroad cars permanently articulated together with Jacobs bogies, built by the Budd Company in 1934 for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (CB&Q), commonly known as the Burlington. The train featured extensive use of stainless steel, was originally named the Zephyr, and was meant as a promotional tool to advertise passenger rail service in the United States. The construction included innovations such as shotwelding (a specialized type of spot welding) to join the stainless steel, and articulation to reduce its weight.
