Is anybody familar with Scientific's Keddie Roundhouse HO kit? I like that it is a woodm kit, as opposed to Walther's roundhouse. But I'm not familar with the brand or quality.
to the forum, your initial posts are delayed in moderation land.
I don't recall any discussions of Scientific kits, but that doesn't mean someone hasn't built one.
The video is more advertisement. Is the roof supposed to look wavy?

Hmmmm... it looks like it is supposed to be a brick structure. I have never been a fan of using wood to represent brick.
.
It does not look like even a 7 degree angle between the stalls. That will be a real space-eater on the layout.
I guess using a lot of glue on the base is the equivilent of "structural integrity" these days.
Did not care one bit for the looping public domain guitar clip.
I would rather have seen some information about the kits special features or nifty details rather than watching the guy glue stripwood to the corners.
But... it does look like a nice building all put together.

Living the dream.
RR_Melthe stall spacing is 5°. Lots of footprint!
Well, you would also need a pretty long turntable to avoid frogs at the approach tracks.
Like Mel, I used the Korber roundhouse, but shortened mine to fit in the available space, as my biggest locomotive are Mikes and Mountains. I use Walthers 90' turntable, but put the modified roundhouse together with screws and Weld Bond epoxy....
The roof and its support structure is removeable as a single unit...
