ARNOS GROVE'S NEW BUS GARAGE

 My next project is the Bus Garage

 

 

A bus garage or bus depot is a building where buses are stored and maintained. Many  bus garages are on the site of former tram sheds, over time their operation transferred to buses only.

 

As  Arnos Grove was the end of the Piccadilly line in 1930s, London Transport required a Bus/Tram garage to ferry people out over the county.

This station will maintain and repair buses.  A terminal  with shops and café. 

Staying with Holden’s design I plan to create a Art Deco Bus Garage Depot.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I  am using block wood work, balsa sheeting and a HO scale Bus. This  allows me to mark out turning circles, the bus platforms and  overall building height.

To create the Arnos Grove bus terminal's roof, an Art Deco structure  of glass and iron,  I purchased the PECO over roof line kit. 

    This terminal will also require a repair section, The “ BUS GARAGE”. This  shed will  allow the mechanics to work under the vehicles so to create inspection pits. Once again PECO products come to the rescue
