fluffybunny Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Hey everyone, I have a little bit of a problem that I am trying to work through and would like to get some input from the train experts. I am working on a roof for a passenger car which also has a little observation area above the main roof, well in order to do that I have to have an area that is 6x10 studs, 10 running the length of the car. I use roofs similar to the emerald night roof with those 2x4 curved slope pieces these, but if you do think about it, it is 4 studs long and I really need a 2 stud wide curved slope. I cant find one that is only 2 studs wide. Does anyone have any suggestions for pieces or something that may work in its place? I don't have any pictures of what I am working on but I can in a few hours if that will help. Thanks for any ideas you can offer.

fred67 Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) The compromise is to use this piece for the curved roof: and this: If I understand your problem correctly. It's not as gently sloped, but works and looks pretty good. EDIT: Oh.. I see what your problem is (after the edit), I get it... then you want to redo the roof using, maybe, these: It would require building the roof in a completely different way if you insisted on it matching the entire roof; otherwise you could put these next to the brick you're referring to and it's not a terrible match.

It turns out that is a great match for that part, if you put a 1x2 tile behind it. The emerald night does something like this on the front, and I did this on my NSB 93 at the end of the cars: Hope this helps... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks you both for your ideas, they helped a lot and glad you could understand from my description with no pictures. Eurotrains yours seems to be exactly what I am looking for and I didn't even think to use that piece like that, it seems like it will work perfect for what I am trying to do. Fred your idea works well too and I will try that way on a different car, thinking about it that seems it would work well for a modern train car, I forgot to mention in the original post this is for based on some of the older cars from the steam age. I will post some pictures of the completed cars once I get a few more bricklink orders in. Thanks again! Edited May 18, 2012 by fluffybunny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
