Finally, for tonight, a progress picture of the 4 stall section of the roundhouse.  The roof cards are all cut and waiting in the paint booth.

John - WOW!  That is going to be one heck of a roundhouse.  I can't wait to see it finished.

Magnificent seems like the right word for that roundhouse...that will be an epic scene on an epic layout.

John,


My hat's off to you!  That is simply beautiful! 


Do you have a forklift hidden in your basement to move models like this (and the larger roundhouse) to the layout?  ;D

Thank you - we are getting close now.  I will be doing a lot of detail work once it is installed on the layout.

Thank you - it's going to look even better once it is surrounded by some scenery. I have a plan. ;)

Incredible looking roundhouse John.


Thank you Curt. This has been a long project - I may see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you - this will be the first structure on the new section so it will need some scenery around it to look it's best.

Thank you, I have a cart and and a couple arms that grew up throwing bales of hay. I may bring in reinforcements just in case. ;)

Looking great, John!

I'm curious as the whether you are going to add rafter tails to all that roofing?  You could set some sort of a record!  Up there with Georges I. M. Boren!

Cheers, Mark.
