About this model

The Falkirk wheel is making progresses The picture shows some parts put together during tests. The design is well progressing! The parts are designed to fit in an HO layout. The train car on the picture is of HO scale. Remember that the reduced scale of 1/140 was chosen (as for other tall buidings, like churches) to stay reasonable in the landscape, but have space for scale boats. This is only an "artist" view. The design copes with technical restrictions and printing ease. Note that all parts will fit on a 250 x 250 mm bed. The "gondola" part shown is very reduced in length. The lengths will be a reduced 15 meters and the normal length of 25 meters. Both lengths will be available, depending on the space available on your layout. The model will be functional, either by hand, or with a step…
