Bulleidboy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 If you can find it, the Bachmann Scenecraft Cornish Roundhouse - comes in sections - not cheap. It was an exclusive to Kernows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VESPA Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Have a look at Vollmer, Kibri and Faller kits from Germany. They are Continental design but you could perhaps Anglicise them a bit. They are also expensive. Maybe build one from scratch?https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/magento/catalogsearch/result/?q=roundhouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulleidboy Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 To add to what Vespa mentioned - if you Google "00 gauge roundhouse" there are a number of kits on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo009 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 There's a rather nice laser cut kit on Ebay which is a 3 bay, but you can buy extra bays to suit your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37lover Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 You also must give consideration to the turntable you are placing to service the Roundhouse [i am assuming that is the normal installation]. The Hornby turntable for example has very coarse [wide] angles between adjacent "arms". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rana Temporia Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Jouef made one to go with their turntable and the different parts turn up occasionally on eBay. I think it was based on a generic French prototype but could probably be Anglicised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORKY. Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Bradshaw's Guide took Michael Portillo to the site of a roundhouse, that had been replaced by a rectangular building, the advantage was that long tender locos fitted within the diaganols. The Ebay roundhouse seems amazing value, and comes with a huge choice of angles and number of sections to suit different turntables, the ends are open but could be "bricked in" with model paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
