Perspective is everything.
Scott has been designing an HO scale ore dock for the club layout based on the CN prototype that delivered ore from Atikokan's Steep Rock Mine to waiting ships at Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) from the 1940s to 1980s. With help from Jeff, they appear to be getting closer to a match, with some changes to come. Jeff provided the photo below with the initial test pieces held side-by-side to the real thing, part of which still juts out into Lake Superior.
Scott used Google Earth to estimate the dimensions and Sketchup to draw the model for 3D printing.
Stay tuned for more 3D printed project features.
