John,

I've been following along with your roundhouse exploits. Wow, what a great looking structure. With it full of steam locos and yard junk it will certainly be an  eye catcher. Great job my friend.

Tom ;D

Thank you for your kind words and for following along. I'm anxious to start adding the steam locomotives.  It's all the detail work that we will see from here on out. Thanks again my friend.

The interior beams are almost ready for the stain on the four stall section of the roundhouse.

It is amazing how everything looks like it's going at a strange angle in a picture of a roundhouse.

I painted the white clapboard with white /grey paint.  When I started installing the first one on the roundhouse it looks way to white for a steam locomotive roundhouse.  So they went back to the workbench for some A&I washes. You can see them in the workbench picture a couple pictures back.
