Beautiful coloring.


Really like how the brick and stone contrast go together so well.


Excellent job John.

Thank you for following along and you kind words. I added a couple more back walls today and started cutting all the pieces for the interior framework. I'm also installing windows in the walls for the 4 stall section of the roundhouse.

By the end of the day, the wall assembly had progressed to the point that I could get started with the beams that will support the roof.

After studying the plans and beam design that Bob used, I plan to install the beams piece by piece rather than building a fixture and building subassemblies.

The interior of the roundhouse will be dominated by the beams that hold up the roof. I'm not planning on a lot of interior detail because it will not be visible once the roundhouse is on the layout.  I'm thinking some interior LED lighting so the locomotives will be visible through the windows. The 4 stall section of the roundhouse will get more details because the viewer will be looking into the front doors. We will see how it looks once it's on the layout.

This is big - I haven't cut this much strip wood for a project since my trestle. The beams are a big project in themselves. The table saw is getting a workout.
