Then at the top of the eave support, one uses the modified plate again to bring the top of the studs back in line again so that the roof can properly fasten to both the walls and the support. This allows for one to build a structure that is offset by ½ a stud. With this technique, one can build the eave support protruding from the wall by only ½ a stud which is closer to being proportionally correct. Heritage Park CPR Station 3794įortunately, LEGO® makes a very useful brick called a jumper plate or modified plate which fastens to two studs on the bottom, but only one on the top. If one were to, in LEGO® terminology, have the support stick out one “stud” (or the width of a full 1×1 brick), then the support would be disproportionately large. Additionally, the wooden support protrudes from the wall, but only slightly. CPR Station (1893-1911) CPR Station (1893-1911)įrom the replica structures at Heritage Park, as well as the historical photographs, it is clear that the wooden support for the eave has a small stone footing in the wall. Heritage Park has also created an excellent replica of this station for the entrance to their park. The station built in 1893 was dismantled and half relocated to High River and the other half to Claresholm. This station stood in Calgary from 1893 to 1911… and then was replaced by a larger station to the East of the Palliser Hotel that remained until 1966 (torn down to make room for the Calgary Tower (formerly the Husky Tower). The original was built in 1893 (earlier stations were simple wooden structures, the first a converted boxcar and the second a typical small town railway station that was short lived). I had the opportunity to build a replica of the third Calgary CPR railway station in Calgary for 2012 GIGYYG.
